Ep. 45 Postpartum: How Bounce Back Culture is Harming Women with Kimberly McFerron

Postpartum is often a time that is overlooked by the current healthcare system. Mamas are checked on multiple times a month (even multiple times a week, sometimes) when you are pregnant. But as soon as your baby is Earthside, it feels like you’re on our own. Oh wait nevermind. That's right, they give you ONE 6 week postpartum follow up. Thank goodness for that. All you feel is the pressure from society that you need to bounce back ASAP because that’s what everyone does, right? WRONG! You need to allow yourself time to recover and embrace this chapter of motherhood. The more we talk about this topic, the less women will push themselves to the breaking point of getting back to their “normal”, pre-pregnancy life...1 month after birth. Are you currently a postpartum mama or about to be? If so, you’ll want to listen in on this week’s SHE Talks Health Podcast episode. I’m chatting with Kimberly McFerron (@kimberlymcferron), founder of The Limitless Pregnancy (@thelimitlesspregnancy), about how the bounce-back culture is harming women.
