50 Hours of Labor, a C-Section, and the Breastfeeding Dream That Didn't Happen
from The Postpartum Years · host Mary Ellen Kramp DPT, CLT
After nearly 50 hours of failed induction and a C-section, Kate Harris came into the postpartum period with two dreams: holding her baby right away and breastfeeding. Neither went as planned. In this episode, Kate shares the honest, sometimes messy reality of those first weeks -- the feeding challenges, the delayed bonding, the grief of letting go of expectations -- and what support actually looked like for her family. A refreshingly candid conversation about giving yourself grace when nothing goes according to plan.Disclaimer: The thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast belong solely to those saying them.
