Planning Your Postpartum Experience

The postpartum planning experience in America is a common topic in mom conversation. That can encompass care (or the lack thereof), a wide range of emotions, and a variety of mental health challenges that so many of us have struggled with. Our guest, Sierra Yancy, is a certified perinatal doula specializing in childbirth education and doula training with Uzazi Village in Kansas City, Mo. She helps us dive into postpartum expectations and how to plan for that fourth trimester. We also interview HCA Midwest Health specialist in women’s care, obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Thomas Greaves, about how our partners can be supportive during this time.  Connect with Sierra Yancy Sierra describes herself as a future wife, mom of a 4-year-old, daughter and sister. She is a certified perinatal doula, specializing in childbirth education and doula training with Uzazi Village in KCMO. She is passionate about birth justice and reproductive justice for all, especially people of color, who are often marginalized and taken advantage of.  She wants new families to know that they can and should trust themselves, trust their bodies, trust birth, trust their instincts.
