Your body has just done something huge—now what? In this lesson, we walk through what’s actually normal after birth (bleeding, stitches, swelling, C-section pain, leaking, bathroom issues, sex, and more), and what deserves a call to your provider. You’ll get clear timelines, practical comfort tips, and simple ways to protect your pelvic floor so you’re not just “surviving” recovery, but truly healing.
Your family-building plans don’t go on pause just because you’re exhausted and covered in baby spit-up. In this lesson, we break down postpartum birth control options in simple, non-judgy language—what’s safe with breastfeeding, what’s not, what works best at different stages, and common myths that just won’t die. You’ll leave with a clear idea of which options might fit your body, your values, and your sanity right now.
There’s “tired and overwhelmed,” and then there’s something more. This lesson helps you tell the difference between normal baby blues and postpartum depression, anxiety, rage, OCD, or psychosis—without fear or shame. We’ll talk red flags, when to ask for help, what real treatment can look like, and how partners and support people can step in. The goal: you don’t just keep going—you get support early, before things feel impossible.
