The Truth About Postpartum Blues & Depression

Our fabulous regular guest,  Gynecologist Dr. Nicky Alliowe, joins me today to talk about the very real feelings that parents, new moms especially, can experience postpartum.  We discuss the mental and physical side effects of giving birth and adjusting to life with a newborn baby. While it is so exciting and a blessing to welcome a new life into the world, the struggle is real and not often talked about.  New baby is great, but how's mom? The new parents? Lack of sleep, hormonal imbalance, breast feeding, body image, stress, and being responsible for a new human is just the tip of the iceberg...Dr. Nicky gives some great tips and resources to cope along with signs to watch out for and how to be supportive.  You can email her with any questions at [email protected].
