Healing Hormones

It’s hard to go into situations without expectations. Even when we know that expectations are rarely going to be met or happen exactly as we had imagined, even when we tell ourselves to expect the unexpected, it can be difficult to handle it with grace.

It’s been so helpful for me to hear from other women and other mothers about their real journeys and realizing that we all go through similar experiences. That’s why I’m going to share some of the highs and lows of my own motherhood journey so far. This is what my first eight weeks of motherhood have looked like.

Hannah Matluck is the founder, producer, and host of The V Hive, a podcast about women’s intimate health. She’s also a certified holistic health and wellness coach. She launched her podcast as a result of her own experiences, battling chronic pelvic pain. After learning how to navigate these complicated challenges, she discovered how common pelvic pain is and, yet, how uncommonly it’s discussed. This made her determined to shine a light on the experiences of countless women, as well as opening other conversations around taboo topics that we all deserve access to. We talk about her personal health journey, why she’s decided to get back on birth control, and striving for a combination of eastern and western medicine.

This is a very special episode! I am going to share my real experience going through labor and the birthing process. I wanted to capture the raw and authentic thoughts and emotions that take place from one week before the baby’s due date right up to the moment she’s born. I hope that hearing my mindset before, during, and after childbirth, how I react when things don’t go as planned, and everything else that comes up, gives you a fresh perspective that just doesn’t get seen when we’re talking theoretically.

I Chat About:

• How I feel at 38-weeks pregnant
• Thoughts about the pregnancy overall
• About that due date
• When things don’t go according to plan
• The importance of having support
• Going through contractions
• Postpartum relief
