Episode Synopsis


When pregnant, we learn about and plan for birth. After birth, we recognize that recovery is needed. But recovery from pregnancy is not often talked about. 
Recovery from birth AND recovery from pregnancy are essential if we want to be healthy, strong and the best moms we can be. 
Preparation during pregnancy can make recovery from pregnancy and birth a little smoother.
And it isn’t too late for the rest of us who didn’t set ourselves up optimally for a speedy recovery. We can start now. 
On the latest episode of the Wild & Well podcast, this is precisely what we are diving into: recovery from pregnancy and birth. I am joined by Dr Andrea Loving, who supports new mothers in having the best recovery possible postpartum and enjoyable entry into motherhood.

Why recovery is so critical 
How long recovery from birth and pregnancy actually take 
Why preparing for pregnancy and birth is so helpful 
What we can do during pregnancy to set ourselves up for a great recovery postpartum
What we need to know about recovery from birth 
Specific and doable strategies to increase recovery time 
The importance of nutrition for better recovery
