Our Voices 645: Postpartum care and recovery after giving birth
On this week’s Our Voices, we discuss postpartum care for new mothers. Soon after the baby's delivery, women experience a post-partum period which usually lasts 6 to 8 weeks and ends when the mother's body has nearly returned to its pre-pregnant state. During this time some women struggle to adapt to the novel demands of motherhood as they experience sleep deprivation and exhaustion, feel overwhelmed and often question their adequacy as mothers. We speak with experts who will unpack the significant changes that some women experience in the postpartum period and why postpartum care is important for new mothers. This and more on this week's Our Voices!
