#146 New Mum Health Check: Essential Postpartum Blood Tests & Health Checks


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the essential blood tests and health screenings every new mum should consider after having a baby. Motherhood is an incredible journey, but it also brings new demands on your body that can impact your overall health. Our goal is to help you feel empowered and informed as you transition into this new season whether it's for the first time or 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc.

We’ll walk through specific blood tests to check for nutrients like iron, vitamin D, and B12—key players in maintaining your energy and immune system. We’ll also discuss tests to monitor thyroid function, hormone levels, and any potential postpartum anemia. Each test plays a vital role in understanding and addressing any imbalances that could affect your well-being and your ability to feel your best for your baby.

Next, we’ll break down how to access these tests, from navigating options with your healthcare provider to exploring local labs or at-home testing services that can make these health checks more convenient.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a practical roadmap for postpartum health checks, ensuring you’re as nourished, supported, and healthy as possible to meet the challenges and joys of motherhood head-on.
