Understanding Postpartum Depression: Beyond the First Six Months

Join me in this eye-opening episode as we delve into the often misunderstood topic of postpartum depression. In our conversation, we explore the research from Australia that challenges the notion that postpartum depression only occurs within the first six months after childbirth. In fact, studies show that the peak incidence of postnatal depression actually happens four years after giving birth.</p>Together, we uncover the truth that postpartum depression can manifest differently for each individual and is not always solely chemical but can also be situational. I encourage all women to seek help and support, regardless of whether they fit the clinical definition of postpartum depression. It's time we break the stigma surrounding maternal mental health and provide the understanding and support that every mother deserves.</p>Join me on this empowering journey as we shed light on the importance of recognizing and addressing postpartum depression beyond the traditional timeframe.

The Link Between Gut Health and Postpartum Wellness

In this episode, I'll be discussing the importance of gut health and its impact on postpartum well-being. I want to share my personal experience with you, as I too struggled with rage, brain fog, and hormonal imbalances after giving birth. It was a challenging time, but through my journey, I discovered the significant role of the gut microbiome in influencing various aspects of our health, from hormones and mood to metabolism.</p>During pregnancy, there are changes that occur in the gut microbiome, and if you already have gut health issues, they can worsen during this time. That's why it's crucial to support a healthy gut both during pregnancy and in the postpartum phase. But it's not just about physical health - there's a strong gut-brain connection, and changes in the gut microbiome can contribute to postpartum depression.</p>I want to emphasize that improving your gut health doesn't have to be overwhelming. Small changes can lead to significant improvements in your overall well-being. <br /><br />Wondering if your gut needs some TLC after having kids?<br /><br />“5 Signs Your Gut Hasn't Recovered from Pregnancy"<br /><br />Click <a href="https://jenmorris.myflodesk.com/postpartumgutsigns">here</a> to get it delivered straight to your inbox.

These changes can have an impact on our decision-making abilities, emotions, and even the development of a "baby radar" that helps us anticipate our child's needs. It's truly incredible how our brains adapt to motherhood!<br /><br /></p>But these changes don't come without their challenges. Hyper vigilance and constant worry about our baby's well-being can result from these brain changes, leading to anxiety and self-doubt.

Our definition of Postpartum is a recipe for disaster

Listen up!<br /><br />The idea that a new mom should bounce back from pregnancy and childbirth after a few weeks or months is bullshit. <br /><br />Society's definition of postpartum is flawed and not serving anyone.  This episode highlights the many reasons women are not just 'bouncing back' including:</p><ul><li>Inadequate recovery time given to women after childbirth,</li><li>The lack of support and resources available</li><li> The focus on the baby rather than the well-being of the person who gave birth.</li></ul>So many women are often left feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, and struggling with various physical and mental health issues, but are told that it's just part of being a mom. <br /><br />I believe that this mindset is harmful and want to challenge the narrative around postpartum.</p>Please help me spread the Renegade Motherhood revolution.
