It takes a village to raise a mother - postpartum planning with Dr. Renee White

Working Mumma

When we discover that we are pregnant, so much of the focus goes toward the child's birth. Once this life-changing event has happened, that is when we most need our village to surround us with support. Learning how to care for a newborn, recovering ourselves, and navigating this new world is challenging; it's when we most need the village around us. Planning for postpartum is crucial as I chat with Dr. Renee White, founder of Fill Your Cup, Australia's first biochemist-led Doula Village.

We chat about:

* Why postpartum planning is important and share our own experiences

* The key challenges and common misconceptions

* How you can prepare for postpartum planning

* Why we need a village to help raise a mum

* The role of self-care in postpartum planning

And so much more. Renee and I share our own experiences and challenges becoming a mum and how we navigated this period.
