post birth

In today's episode I have Amy back to share her postpartum story. Amy shares how panicked, stressed and out of her depth she felt in the immediate postpartum phase as everything was new and unfamiliar. 

She speaks about the monumental identity shift that comes with becoming a mother and how in the loneliness of postpartum-life, she mourned her old-self and her previous life. Amy also talks about the challenge of having very little support from family (as they don’t live locally) and how her and her partner worked as a team to ensure they were both feeling physically and mentally ok.
 
 Finally, Amy reminds us that “no matter how hard it is, it is worth it” which is such a beautiful sentiment and one that resonates deeply for me (and perhaps for you as well).

Today, I am delighted to be joined in this episode by my very own mother, Claudia Steele Lotz. We chat the nitty gritty of pregnancy, post pregnancy, early childhood parenting, and she answers all my (slightly neurotic) questions about the experience of becoming a mother (including body issues). She is honest, she is lovely, and she is oh so revealing. If you are struggling with the idea of pregnancy and becoming a mother, then this episode is for you!

I learnt so many things postpartum about my body and my baby, and now I want to share them with you. This episode is hugely relatable, nothing is off-limits, and I think you'll be nodding away.
Many of them are never talked about or shared, and I wish someone had told me.
Griffo was away on a boys weekend, so Sophie Walker host of Australian Birth Stories joined Heidi to chat all about the things you wish someone had told you about the postpartum journey.
