Episode notes
In this episode, we dive into the raw and honest experiences of those first days after birth—both the magical and the challenging moments.
We begin by discussing the importance of hospital care, highlighting how midwives and healthcare professionals support recovery and guide new mums through those crucial first steps.
Then, we get real about mum’s first toilet break and first shower—often overlooked but significant milestones in postpartum recovery. We talk about what to expect, how to make it easier, and why these moments can feel like small victories.
