Postpartum health requires support for the body and for the mind, but so many in this country go without either. We talk with the founders of a new full-service, overnight postpartum retreat in Charlotte. Plus, a nurse midwife, and a poet, talk about the challenges of the postpartum period… and some solutions for getting crucial help.
