Welcome to the Postpartum Prep Podcast
My goal with the Postpartum Prep Podcast is simple: to make it really easy for you to feel more informed, supported, and confident as you step into life with your newborn.
When I was a pregnant first-time mom, I spent months preparing for labor and birth. But once my baby arrived, I realized I'd hardly spent any time preparing for once he was actually here.
I'm yet to come across a mother who says she prepared too much for postpartum. Every mom I've spoken to has agreed that the fourth trimester is one of the most important - and most overlooked - seasons of parenthood.
