FENOM Women's Care Podcast

Hey, I am Lori Atkins. I am a certified OBGYN with FĒNOM Women's Care in Fort Worth, Texas. Today, I really felt compelled to talk with you a little bit about current events with reproductive rights and women.

Hi, I'm Dr. Lori Atkins. I am a certified OBGYN with FĒNOM Women's Care. And I'm here with my one of my partners Dr. Catherine Bevan today on May 15th, 2022. There are a lot of things in the world that we could really talk about.

Our focus is actually going to be on VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean delivery), but I want you to hear us now that there's no way that we are not feeling, addressing, and dealing with the oppression on women's rights, women's care, healthcare, the disparity in healthcare and all that's on all our minds more and more. These are topics that are in us, on us, and significantly heavy. With that said, we will shift into discuss the vaginal birth after cesarean delivery for today's discussion.

Good morning. I'm Dr. Lori Atkins with FĒNOM Women's Care.

I've seen it in the in the national media, the newspaper, magazine articles, in blogs... and all over my social media feed from physicians, and others.

Moms are experiencing significant burnout on their profession, burnout on family, stress, and burnout on the pandemic (for God's sake, right?).

Today, it's time. I'm going to talk with you about self care and burnout.

Dr. Lori Atkins of FĒNOM on Cesarean Sections.

Good morning. I'm Lori Atkins with FĒNOM Women's Care.

Cesarean delivery is probably the most common surgery done in the United States, and it's also pretty feared by a lot of women when they're pregnant.

April happens to be Cesarean awareness month. So with that in mind, I thought I would just talk with you about it both generally and specifically. In the end, I really look forward to any questions that you might have.

Dr. Andrea Palmer & Dr. Catherine Bevan of FĒNOM on Body Image Post-Pregnancy.

Welcome to the FENOM Women's Care Podcast. Today, we are going to talk with Dr. Andrea Palmer & Dr. Catherine Bevan about body image after pregnancy. This is such a hugely emotional topic. For so many women motherhood changes us in so many ways.

The whole process of motherhood from the pregnancy, the labor to having children of your own, it's not ever something that you can put into words for other people.

There is not language adequate to describe the ways that you change both physically and mentally as you move through motherhood. You can tell people it's uncomfortable to be nine months pregnant, but until you're nine months pregnant, you can't get that.
