08. Melissa Wilkerson - COVID Hospital Birth, Postpartum on Lockdown, Switching to Formula, Being so Happy, Tired, and "One and Done"

1 tim 18 min•13 juni 2023

Om avsnittet

In today's episode, I have my cousin-in-law, Melissa, on the podcast. She shares about the overwhelming hospital birth of her son Teddy during peak COVID and how isolated (and grateful) her and her new family of three felt postpartum.

TOPICS SHE TALKS ABOUT:

  • Losing a close family member before birth
  • Trying to breastfeed
  • Switching to formula and why
  • Having a postpartum plan that only accounted for the pandemic
  • Importance of family support in the early days
  • What it is like to have a "good" sleeper
  • Postpartum amnesia (feeling like it's all a blur)
  • Maternal mental health and its effect on the family unit
  • Feeling so thankful for the outcome of birth
  • Being team "one and done"


MELISSA'S RESOURCES/TIPS:

"Don't be afraid to ask for help."

"Reach out and connect with other moms."
