During pregnancy, you focus on your health, your baby, and preparing for birth. What comes after birth is just as important, and often overlooked. Your body needs time to recover from nine months of pregnancy, labor, and the early demands of breastfeeding and caring for a newborn. Many postpartum changes are entirely normal, yet they are rarely discussed. In this episode, let's change that. 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.     Read the full article and resources that accompany this episode.     Check out the 40 Weeks podcast to learn how your baby grows each week and what is happening in your body. Plus, get a heads up on what to expect at your prenatal appointments and a tip for dads and partners.     For more evidence-based information, visit the Pregnancy Podcast website.
