EP101 - Sinead (Postpartum Chat), Expectation v Reality, Getting By, Returning to Work
Listen now
Description
You previously asked for episodes that focus on the postpartum period of a woman’s life and this episode is just that. Sinead previously shared her five pregnancies, four births, early pregnancy loss and her experience with sepsis in EP68 Listen here!. This time we chat about life after each baby especially the expectation we have before our first born comes into the world. Sinead shares how she coped each day, accepting that some days (most) you just do what you need whatever is necessary in order to get through the haze. She also shares how she felt retuning to work in the early days versus her decision to utilise childcare after her fourth baby to really lean into that fourth trimester. If you would like to hear more episodes like this bonus chat please get in touch and let me know. Our Monday birth stories are a permanent fixture but I would love to hear your feedback on this one.
