In this episode of MamaDoc BabyDoc, we dive into the often-overlooked reality of postpartum recovery. From physical healing after childbirth to the emotional rollercoaster that follows, we break down what really happens after the baby arrives. We share honest, evidence-based insight into everything from bleeding and breastfeeding challenges to baby blues and identity shifts. Whether you're a new parent, a partner, or just curious, this is the real talk about the “fourth trimester” you won't hear in the delivery room.

In this conversation, Eliza, a GP and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, discusses her expertise in Neuroprotective Developmental Care, an evidence-based practice of working with the biology of our children to understand the ways in which we can support our family. She emphasises the importance of an individualised approach, understanding infant sleep needs, and the significance of co-regulation in parenting. The discussion also addresses common misconceptions about sleep training and the need for flexibility in parenting. In this conversation, we discuss the complexities of baby sleep, addressing common concerns such as early waking, the witching hour, and the challenges of managing sleep with multiple children. Eliza is the founder of a Perinatal GP clinic in Sydney's Inner West and, along with her team, offer comprehensive care for Perinatal women, babies, including lactation and sleep support focus on the possums approach. There is a wealth of knowledge, expertise and empathy from Dr Eliza and I recommend you pass this episode on to as many parents as you can as it offers ways in which you can take the guess work out of supporting your child's needs and encourages reassurance for parents and the very undervalued backstage labour of raising our little humans. The discussion also highlights the significance of mental health for parents and the need for support during challenging sleep phases.Eliza is a GP and lactation consultant with a focus on perinatal care.Neuroprotective developmental care aims to protect a baby's optimal development.The approach emphasizes individualized care based on a baby's unique needs.Sleep is a biological need, not a learned skill.Families often face conflicting information about infant care.It's important to acknowledge varying sleep needs among babies.Co-regulation is beneficial for a baby's development.Parents should feel empowered to follow their baby's cues.Routine can be beneficial for parents, but flexibility is key for babies.Understanding a baby's biology helps alleviate parental pressure. Babies communicate their needs, not manipulate.It's okay to seek help if sleep is unmanageable.Experimenting with sleep arrangements can help.Understanding your baby's natural body clock is key.The witching hour is a common phenomenon for babies.Catnapping is normal and not harmful.Sleeping through the night varies for each baby.Letting go of control can ease parenting stress.Support from professionals can be beneficial.Finding what works for your family is essential.https://www.instagram.com/dr.eliza.hannam/https://www.nurturedmedical.com.au/https://ndcinstitute.au/https://possumsndc.com/https://possumssleepprogram.com/when-baby-cries-a-lot-brief-and-simple/the-baby-who-cries-a-lot-in-the-first-3-4-months-of-life-possums-5-domain-approach/about-the-discontented-little-baby-bookhttps://www.instagram.com/motherhoodwithketurah/

In this powerful and nuanced episode, I'm joined once again by Morgan Bradwell, LCSW, PMH-C, to explore the intersection between sexual trauma and perinatal trauma.We discuss how past sexual trauma can shape the perinatal experience, increase the risk of birth trauma, and impact postpartum mental health, including rates of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Morgan draws from her clinical experience supporting survivors of sexual trauma and perinatal trauma to help us better understand how to support pregnant people with this history, whether you're a provider, a partner, or navigating it yourself.What You'll Hear in This Episode:

Content note: perinatal suicidality In this episode Sophie speaks with midwife and Research Fellow Dr Laura Biggs, and CEO of PANDA Australia, Julie Borninkhof about the Making Sense of the Unseen partnership between the Stronger Futures CRE and the Murdoch Children's REsearch Institute, PANDA Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia, and James Cook University. In the episode you'll hear discussed key findings from ground-breaking research conducted by the team on experiences of perinatal suicidality, the first study of its kind ever to be carried out. Suicide is the leading cause of maternal death in Australia and other high-income countries and yet so far, we've known little about women's experiences of suicidality at this time in their lives. As discussed in this episode, the research identified that perinatal suicidality is driven by experiences of shame, and feelings of being disconnected and ‘defective' as a mother. We talk about how societal pressures and the perfect mother myth narrative profoundly impact women's mental health, and share stories from the research that demonstrate the profound importance of compassionate care and rehumanising relationships and care experiences for mothers. This episode is an especially important listen for all of those who work in healthcare and/or with mothers. We want to acknowledge the 139 women who shared their experiences of perinatal suicidality with the research team, as without their generosity, this research and this conversation on the podcast sharing these important findings would not be possible. … Episode webpage: https://drsophiebrock.com/podcast119 Connect with Laura on Twitter @l_biggs Follow PANDA on Facebook at facebook.com/pandanational and Instagram @pandanational Laura Biggs' email: laura.biggs@mcri.edu.au Learn more about Making Sense of the Unseen: https://www.strongerfutures.org.au/making-sense-of-the-unseen Read the journal article: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10497323231164278 Support lines Australia - www.panda.org.au/ - 1300 726 306 @pandanational @lifelineaustralia @13yarn UK - pandasfoundation.org.uk/ - 0808 1961 776 USA - www.postpartum.net/ - Text “Help” to 800-944-4773 (EN) The EU/EEA - Mental health helpline - 116 123

Cuando fallece un recién nacido o hay una pérdida durante el embarazo no sabemos muy bien cómo reaccionar. Sigue siendo un tabú abordar este tipo de duelo y muchas familias no tienen ni siquiera la oportunidad de despedirse de su bebé ni de que la sociedad valide su dolor. En estos últimos días ha dado mucho que hablar en las redes sociales el video de una madre británica a la que permitieron llevarse a casa a su hijo fallecido al nacer y lo mantuvo con ella durante unos días para poder despedirse y hacer el duelo. Hay quien la ha apoyado y también quien la ha tachado de loca pero el video ha puesto el dedo en la llaga sobre un asunto muy real. Solo en Extremadura cerca del 30% de los embarazos no llegan a término y muchas de estas madres, de estas familias, se enfrentan a ello solas y sin acompañamiento. Al ver la soledad, la falta de sensibilidad y la falta de acompañamiento, un grupo de madres de Badajoz que habían sufrido esta situación crearon hace un tiempo la Asociación Allá, un grupo de apoyo que permite que las familias encuentren un sitio donde se sientan atendidas. En este episodio charlamos con su presidenta, Sandra Díaz, sobre la ayuda que prestan ya en toda la región para afrontar y gestionar pérdidas tan dolorosas.

Dr. April Dominick // #ICEPelvic // www.ptonice.com  In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, ICE Pelvic faculty member April Dominick explores the evolution of language and understanding surrounding perinatal conditions such as diastasis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, and perinatal exercise. She highlights the shift from a fear-based approach to a more empowering and neutral language, informed by evidence and clinical experiences. April shares personal insights from her nearly nine years in the field, illustrating how changing terminology can significantly impact individuals' perceptions of their conditions and enhance outcomes. April focuses on practical language shifts, starting with diastasis recti, and aims to empower listeners to communicate more effectively about these important topics.

We are recording Season 3 of the Resilient Birth podcast. Meanwhile we have selected our favorite episodes for you. In this episode, Justine and Sarah interview Lacey Castilleja Fisher, a licensed professional counselor and registered play therapist. Lacey specializes in working with parents and parents-to-be who have experienced sexual trauma, as well as individuals dealing with a range of mental health issues. Lacey shares two quotes that resonate with her work: one by Natasha Trethewey about the importance of telling a story to heal from trauma, and another by Resmaa Menakem about the discomfort of healing. The conversation explores the power of storytelling, the use of sandtray therapy and expressive arts in therapy, and the personal experiences that led Lacey to her work. In this conversation, Lacey discusses how she creates safety in the sandtray experience. She emphasizes the importance of selecting diverse materials and figures, and speaking to the activating potential of the miniatures. Lacey also explains how she incorporates EMDR into sandtray therapy and adapts the practice for the perinatal population. She shares insights on finding and collecting miniatures, as well as the importance of open curiosity and not assuming the meaning behind a client's tray. The conversation highlights the power of storytelling and the versatility of expressive art therapy. Keywords: therapy, trauma, storytelling, sandtray therapy, expressive arts, perinatal trauma, birth trauma, EMDR, perinatal mental health, storytelling, expressive art therapy Takeaways Telling a story is an important part of healing from trauma. It allows individuals to process and integrate their experiences. But telling a story does not have to be verbal. Sandtray therapy and expressive arts can be powerful tools in therapy, providing a nonverbal and creative way for clients to explore and express their emotions and experiences. The journey of parenthood can bring up feelings of uncertainty and self-doubt, especially for individuals with their own trauma history. EMDR can be incorporated into sandtray therapy. Adapting sandtray therapy for the perinatal population involves gaining expertise in perinatal mental health and being thoughtful about the miniatures that represent the different feelings and experiences during the perinatal period. Open curiosity and not assuming the meaning behind a client's tray are important aspects of facilitating the therapy. Storytelling in sand tray therapy goes beyond verbal expression and includes the selection and creation of scenes in the tray. Sound Bites "No words are off limits. No stories are off limits." "The expressive arts and sandtray therapy allow different parts that are closed off to open up."

Through an inspirational quote that drives our weekly conversations about trauma and healing, Justine and Sarah explore topics such as birth trauma, parenting as a survivor, and finding healing with vulnerability and compassion that support birthing people and birth professionals. Each week, listeners leave with takeaways to utilize in their lives and/or clients. Justine and Sarah hold the stories they share with honor and respect with the hope to impart knowledge, increase understanding, and bear witness to this challenging topic. Sarah is a licensed mental health counselor, educator, and mom of three. She walks with a story of trauma from before and as a result of her perinatal experience. Justine supports survivors of trauma through perinatal coaching and childbirth education. As well as being a mother of three, she holds a Ph.D. on representations of consent and sexual violence. Learn more about Sarah and Justine's course called Trauma Informed Fundamentals here: https://resilient-birth.mykajabi.com/traumainformedfundamentals Lacey Castilleja Fisher, LPC-S, RPT-S, PMH-C, is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor and a Certified Mental Health Professional with a mental health private practice in southwest Austin. Lacey has worked in a variety of settings including in a Children's Advocacy Center to provide counseling to children that experienced sexual abuse and their families, and she decided to take the experience she had there and apply it to private practice. She built her practice around supporting children and adults that had experienced sexual abuse/assault and found a passion working with parents and parents to be when their sexual trauma was activated in the perinatal period. This led to Lacey learning as much as she could about perinatal trauma, pregnancy and infant loss, NICU trauma and fertility struggles. Lacey finds that the parents she works with respond well to EMDR, IFS and sandtray therapy at her counseling practice. Lacey has served as the Clinical Director for the Pregnancy and Postpartum Health Alliance of Texas and now serves on their advisory board. Lacey has shared this article with us about sand tray therapy (https://wjstp-ojs-txstate.tdl.org/wjstp/article/view/25), as well as an upcoming workshop she is hosting called "Storytelling in the Sand: Using Sandtray Therapy to Cope with Perinatal Trauma and Loss: http://www.openheartcounselingatx.com/store/p2/storytellinginthesand.html.

We are recording Season 3 of the Resilient Birth podcast. Meanwhile we have selected our favorite episodes for you. In this episode, Justine and Sarah are joined by Mara Tesler-Stein, a clinical psychologist and founder of the Touchstone Institute for Psychotherapy and Training. We talk about EMDR for the perinatal population, the impact on Mara's own perinatal journey as the parent of preemie twins on her professional career, and the experience of having a baby in the NICU. Summary Mara begins by sharing the Talmudic quote: “Someone who saves a single life is considered as if they have saved an entire world.” The conversation then delves into the topic of EMDR therapy and its benefits for the perinatal population. Mara explains that EMDR is a trauma-focused therapy that helps individuals process and integrate traumatic experiences. Mara shares her story including her perinatal journey of preterm labor, extended hospital stay and preemie twins. We explore what it is like for parents who have had to navigate life with a baby in the NICU and the emotional aftermath of that. The conversation explores the three core tasks that parents face in and after a perinatal crisis: developing parental identity for the baby, managing emotions, and managing relationships. Mara share that he loss of innocence and loss of peer group are significant challenges that parents face in the aftermath of a perinatal crisis, but also reassures that with window for attachment stretches well beyond the hour or hours after birth. Keywords EMDR therapy, perinatal mental health, birth trauma, NICU, early development, attachment, perinatal crisis, parental identity, healthcare providers, Takeaways EMDR therapy is a trauma-focused therapy that helps individuals process and integrate traumatic experiences. Trauma in the perinatal period, including the trauma of a NICU experience, can have long-term impacts on individuals and their families. Parents face three core tasks in and after a perinatal crisis: developing parental identity, managing emotions, and managing relationships. Perinatal crises are transformative and can lead to a shift in identity and perspective for parents. The loss of innocence and loss of peer group are significant challenges that parents face in the aftermath of a perinatal crisis. Healthcare providers can understand their role as both the hosts of and guests within families in their care, making space for parents to fulfill their role as parents. Sound Bites "Someone who saves a single life is considered as if they have saved an entire world." "The healing is already there. My job as the therapist is to help that internal healing mobilize."

Through an inspirational quote that drives our weekly conversations about trauma and healing, Justine and Sarah explore topics such as birth trauma, parenting as a survivor, and finding healing with vulnerability and compassion that support birthing people and birth professionals. Each week, listeners leave with takeaways to utilize in their lives and/or clients. Justine and Sarah hold the stories they share with honor and respect with the hope to impart knowledge, increase understanding, and bear witness to this challenging topic.
