That years-long struggle to conceive doesn't disappear when the baby arrives—it becomes the root cause of challenging postpartum recovery. Fertility specialist Gabriela Rosa is here to expose the devastating link between unresolved fertility trauma and intense perinatal mental health struggles. . We dive deep into the physiological and emotional barriers, highlighting the profound impact of pre-conception health and the shocking reality that the male factor accounts for up to 50% of fertility issues, yet remains frequently ignored. Learn how to shift focus from treating symptoms like postpartum anxiety to addressing the arduous, traumatizing path to pregnancy for true holistic family healing.
