Show notes

Expecting moms prepare so much for pregnancy and childbirth, but what happens after the baby is born? The postpartum period, traditionally referred to as “lying-in” is a time to bond with your newborn and establish a connection to build upon for a lifetime. It's also a time to rest and allow your body to heal.

On today's episode, we’re diving into how to create a plan for lying-in and tips for making the most out of your postpartum period.

We’ve partnered with our friends at Earth Mama Organics where they harness nature’s herbal remedies to effectively support the miraculous wonders and common indignities of the entire journey of pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and baby care. Their helpful FREE Postpartum Lying-In Plan was created to help guide expectant mamas through thinking about their own healing, and to make the most of the postpartum rest time they have.

14: Postpartum: How to Normalize and Minimize Scary Thoughts Jul 09, 2019

Show notes

During the postpartum period women can think and feel a lot of things: love, exhaustion, excitement, loneliness, joy and sometimes even scary thoughts. All of them are normal, but when the not so good thoughts and emotions come it can be hard to know how to handle them. I'm discussing those scary thoughts new mothers think with Dr. Jane Shomof, a licensed marriage family therapist who specializes in postpartum support and owner and founder of Bloome (https://www.letsbloome.com). We're talking about common scary thoughts new moms think to themselves but never share, thoughts we had after we had our babies, and how to control, normalize and minimize them.

Dr. Jane recommends checking out the book "White Bears and Other Unwanted Thoughts" by Daniel Wegner (https://rstyle.me/+8NRczFjRDf0bBsA7b64mbA)
