I will walk you through what to expect physically and emotionally in the weeks after birth, so you are not caught off guard. We will also cover the warning signs to watch for to help ensure your recovery is on track.     Thank you to our sponsors   The VTech V-Hush Stroller Rocker is a portable device that features a mechanical rocking mechanism to gently rock your baby's crib or stroller to promote better sleep on the go.

    Telemetry monitoring during labor is becoming more common in hospital birth settings. Yet many doulas may not be familiar with how it works or how it differs from traditional continuous electronic fetal monitoring.   In this episode, we explore telemetry monitoring, how it functions, and the potential benefits it offers for mobility and comfort for laboring clients. We also discuss hospital policies, common limitations, and how to support clients in understanding their options when telemetry is available or when it is not.   As doulas, having a working knowledge of telemetry can help us better advocate for client preferences, support informed decision-making, and provide more effective physical and emotional support during labor.   Join us for a practical and informative conversation to help you feel more confident navigating this type of monitoring in your birth support work.

Trying to get pregnant again while still breastfeeding is something Dr. Morgan gets asked about SO often - so we decided to dedicate a whole episode to the topic. There's a lot to understand about the way lactational physiology differs from fertile or pregnant physiology - and we must understand the hormonal and metabolic interplay to make meaningful and effective changes that can increase our chances of pregnancy while nursing. We hope this clears up some confusion and helps give a guiding path to how you can grow your family while still nursing others- in a healthful way for you AND baby.This episode is sponsored by:Redmond Salt >> Click here and use code HEALTHYMOTHER to save 15% on your order.Needed >> Click here and use code HEALTHYMOTHER to save 20% off your first order.Resources From This Episode:Episode #31: The Power of ProgesteroneEpisode #53: Miscarriage Mystery Decoded with Dr. AumatmaStay Connected With Us:Healthy As A Mother: www.healthyasamother.comInstagram: @healthyasamotherpodcastDr. Leah: www.womanhoodwellness.comInstagram: @drleahgordonDr. Morgan: www.milkmedicine.comInstagram: @morganmacdermott

They explore the philosophy behind birth plans, advocating for a deeper understanding of personal values rather than a checklist approach. The discussion transitions into the role of advocacy in the birth space, highlighting the need for doulas to empower birthing parents and facilitate communication with providers.

Core Points:Postpartum depression is often underdiagnosed and can last for years, requiring proactive screening and support systems.Optimize social support, including booking a psychiatrist appointment in advance, to prepare for postpartum challenges.Address risk factors like history of mental health issues, lack of social support, poor nutrition, and substance use.Breastfeeding is beneficial; medication can be safe and improve outcomes for both mother and baby.Prioritize self-care by outsourcing tasks, focusing on rest, and setting realistic expectations.Trust your instincts as a mother and seek help without shame, ensuring your doctor is supportive and responsive.Postpartum Depression vs. Baby Blues:The discussion began by defining postpartum blues and postpartum depression and clarifying the differences between them. Postpartum depression is major depression with a timeline, and it consists of issues with sleep, little interest in activities, feelings of guilt, low energy levels, poor concentration, and thoughts of self-harm within the first 12 months of giving birth. Baby blues is considered more of a mild delirium that occurs within the first two weeks after birth due to sleep deprivation.Postpartum Psychosis:Postpartum psychosis is more severe, with the mother detached from reality, experiencing paranoia, hallucinations, and an inability to bond with the baby. In such cases, immediate medical intervention is needed to ensure the safety of both mother and child.Risk Factors:Risk factors include a history of depression or mental illness, lack of social and financial support, poor nutrition, and substance abuse. It's important to ask patients about their mental health history and whether there were any mental health issues during menopause.Prevention Strategies:Prevention involves optimizing your village by cultivating a support network that allows the mother to openly express her feelings and seek help when needed. It's also beneficial to book a psychiatrist appointment in advance to ensure timely access to professional support.Treatment Approaches:Treatment for postpartum depression is similar to treating general depression, with careful consideration given to the safety of medications during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Some medications are considered safe, and Zoloft is a good option for pregnant women. It's crucial to prioritize nutrition, including magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, saffron, and turmeric, and consult with a psychiatrist for personalized recommendations.Lifestyle Modifications:Lifestyle modifications include limiting social media use, setting realistic expectations, prioritizing rest, and outsourcing tasks to reduce stress. Additionally, asking for extra time off from work and involving family and friends in caregiving can provide additional support.Cultural Perspectives:Cultural perspectives on postpartum care are highlighted, advocating for traditional practices like the “five-five-five” rule and emphasizing the importance of community support and rest.Societal Impact:The importance of the mother-child bond in the first six months and the adverse effects of early daycare on a child's emotional regulation and development were also discussed. Returning to work too soon after childbirth can have negative impacts on both the mother and child, with the child needing the mother the most.Resources Mentioned:Results Psychiatry: https://www.resultspsychiatry.comPetition to stop Medicare from limiting access to telehealth coverage: https://chng.it/v6vb7SV85mGet in Touch! rob@2docstocpodcast.com

Leave a review! Breastfeeding didn't come naturally for me—and maybe it hasn't been for you either.

This episode is all about the history of feeding babies which has been necessary and yet surprisingly difficult since the beginning of mankind. In fact, it's so necessary that to forgo it, up until very recently, the last hundred years or so, was a death sentence for the infant. We don't often think about feeding babies. It's something mothers take care of behind the scenes, part of the invisible load. We certainly don't pause to think about the history of it, the immense challenges faced throughout the ages. But we should. As necessary as infant feeding is, as necessary as it has always been, society still does not make it easy for mothers to pull off. And that should concern you, even if you aren't a mother, even if you aren't a baby. Because you were once, and so was I, and so was literally everyone.
