Hello mamas and welcome back to the Pregnancy with Physio Laura podcast. 

Today’s episode is all about what the first 2 weeks of my post-partum life and recovery looked like.

This is episode 4 of 7 in the My Pregnancy and Birth podcast series. If you haven’t already listened to the first 3 episodes you should definitely go and listen to them first as I explain the pregnancy and birth story that led me to this post-partum recovery.

In today’s episode I share my initial thoughts when reflecting on my birth, our rhythms in the early days after birth, the boundaries i put in place to make sure i could rest, how i managed an afternoon nap every day for the first 2 weeks, my tips on getting good sleep and rest, how my body and pelvic floor felt, my emotional state after birth, how i helped my perineum recover and so much more.
