This is what you’ve been waiting for. After all the appointments, the labor, the delivery—you’re finally holding your baby. Now what?

In this episode, we walk through the first 24 hours after birth. From delivering the placenta and understanding Apgar scores to skin-to-skin and your first postpartum pee, we break down what’s happening to your body and what’s normal (even if it doesn’t feel that way).

Birth with Babylist brings together trusted experts and parents who’ve lived it to break down what happens before, during, and after birth—without fear-mongering or shaming. Hosted by journalist, author, and mom of three Jo Piazza. New episodes every Thursday.
Featuring Florencia Segura, MD, Abike James, MD and Paul Zalewski.
