Listen to my audio journal – the first week of my postpartum experience. I kept an audio journal for the first 40 days after giving birth. I was mostly recording with Leo lying on me and nursing, holding my phone in awkward positions, but I wanted to keep these memories as fresh and raw as possible for later reflections. 

There is so much we don’t talk about, we don’t share when it comes to postpartum. The vulnerability of this episode, the rawness of my audio journal might offer you some insight into the reality of it (disclaimer: it was my reality, yours might be very different), or maybe it can make you feel seen and acknowledged.

Some of the themes you will hear:

• A new reality
• Navigating hospital life with a newborn
• The chaotic first days and challenges of postpartum
• Coping with exhaustion and desperation
• Emotional turmoil, guilt and loneliness
• Surrendering expectations and embracing reality
• Finding joy amidst anxiety

I trust that you take whatever is meant for you from this episode.

Love, Annamaria, xx
