The scoop on poop… yes, you read that right. Jodine and Amanda dive into the details of recovering from major abdominal surgery and what it is like to recover with a brand new baby to care for. This episode is all about THEIR recovery, bodies and minds. They discuss that once baby is born, mama is no longer a topic of concern. So… this episode is strictly dedicated to mamas, post c-section.
