There’s a prevailing narrative that those first few weeks after you welcome your baby are just blissful. But that's not the only experience women have before, during, or after giving birth, and it’s time we reflect on that. In this episode of From First Period To Last Period, Kristyn sits down with Ashley Rodrigues⁠, a Postpartum, Women's Health, and Sex Therapy Licensed Psychotherapist, about some of the many factors that can affect a person's mental health during the postpartum period — from birth trauma to PMDD to low sex drive. Because new parenthood is not always sunshine and rainbows, and that's okay.
