The Postpartum Complication No One Warned Me About

This episode shares my personal experience with bladder retention after a C-section — a postpartum complication that is rarely talked about but can be frightening and isolating. I open up about the unexpected physical and emotional challenges I faced during recovery, the fear and vulnerability that came with losing control of my body, and what I wish I had known beforehand. This conversation is meant to normalize the less-discussed realities of postpartum healing and remind moms that complications don’t mean failure — they mean recovery is human, unpredictable, and deserving of support.
