Dear Dr. Tracy

Postpartum, Grief, and The Mental Load – with Lo Mansfield

Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Lo Mansfield, a specialty certified OB nurse who has spent her career in labor and postpartum, and the teacher and face behind the Labor Mama community courses and resources. 

 

Together, we discuss the intricacies of postpartum and the power of how resources and knowledge can change our experiences. 

 

In this episode, we cover: 

 

  • The feeling of grief in pregnancy and child birth  
  • The importance of having a support system and receiving help in postpartum 
  • How to acknowledge and have grace for your own change on the parenting journey  
  • The ability to have an empowered and knowledgeable birth experience 
  • Responding to fear in the labor process 
  • How to practice pain with purpose  
  • Recognizing postpartum mental health challenges and implementing accountability
