We have been thinking about this episode for a while now, from our last episode “The First Shower” we have realised that many women focus on the birth but are not given education on how to prepare for the immediate postpartum care, what to pack in your bag, and how to look after your body straight after birth. Some of the topics can sometimes be a shock for women and birth partners so we feel so excited to introduce our next guest into the studio.. Meet Lydia owner and creator of Partum Panties, Maternity Underwear. A Registered Midwife, a Mother of two daughters. Lydia has always been very passionate about supporting women and her passion is to provide women with products that allow for a greater postpartum recovery. In the early postpartum period women often use underwear that are loose or tight. They experience leaking, pads that bunch up and underwear pulls up tightly onto their caesarean or perineum wound. Women are even wearing adult diapers, as there is nothing else on the market available to them. Lydia also recognised one of the many challenges new mums face, is feeling comfortable with the right underwear. Women want to focus on their new baby and not have to worry about their heavy bleeding or the feeling of discomfort from bulky maternity pads and underwear. This is why Lydia decided it was time to find a better solution for the postpartum woman and Partum Panties was born. In this episode we also asked Lydia about post partum bleeding to haemorrhages to the first wee and poo to discussing care for tears and cesarean wounds.
