Postpartum feels like an entirely new journey—one no one really preps you for. From the hormone rollercoaster to postpartum recovery (down there care, bleeding, stitches, all of it), it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and honestly, like a total mind f*ck.

In this episode, we get into:

• Postpartum hormones and what’s actually normal

• Caring for your body after birth (“down there” recovery and all the TMI details)

• 6-week postpartum checkups and what “cleared for sex” really means

• The importance of building your mom community so you don’t go through it alone

If you’re in the thick of it—or about to be—this episode is your reminder that postpartum isn’t something to just “get through.” It’s messy, it’s hard, but you don’t have to do it alone.

You deliver the baby… and then what? No one really preps you for the first night after birth—or all the “firsts” that follow.

In this episode, we’re getting into the messy, funny, and sometimes shocking realities of postpartum recovery and those early hospital days:

• Your first night in the hospital with a newborn

• The dreaded first poop after birth (yes, we’re going there)

• Baby’s first poop (meconium madness!)

• Breastfeeding for the first time—and what it’s really like

• What to pack in your hospital bag so you’re actually prepared (hint: more snacks, less Pinterest fluff)

If you’re pregnant, building your hospital bag checklist, or just want to know what really happens after birth, this one’s for you.

Whether it’s your first or your fourth, every labour and delivery story leaves you speechless—and ours are no different.

In this episode, we’re talking about all the unspoken truths of childbirth that no prenatal class ever covers:

• Epidurals: what we expected vs. what actually happened

• Pushing positions that work (and the ones that don’t)

• Delivery room chaos: from live streaming to dance parties

• The possibility of leaving the hospital without a baby—and the emotions no one prepares you for

If you’re pregnant, about to deliver, or just love a good birth story, this one’s for you. Honest, messy, and maybe a little unhinged—because labour never goes exactly as planned.
