Ever wondered what postpartum depression looks like from a Senegalese-American perspective, or been curious about the stark cultural differences in women's health between Senegal and America? This episode of The Jeune Maman Podcast takes you on a cultural journey as we explore these issues with Dr. Holda Gueye-Weinstein, a renowned OBGYN. We delve into the surprising contrasts between American and Senegalese patients in terms of self-advocacy and compliance, and discuss the imperative need for Senegalese women to take more control over their health, ask questions and make decisions that resonate with their specific lifestyles. We also discover how Senegal's traditional practices around postpartum care, from unique soups to massages, aid in the recovery of new mothers, and we contrast this with what is common in the American culture. Important topics such as labor, birth control, and exercise during pregnancy are not left out as we compare these across both cultures. We close the curtain with a comprehensive discussion on postpartum depression, as we identify warning signs and emphasis the need for a culturally sensitive medical team to aid women during this challenging phase. This episode is a must-listen for everyone, particularly women navigating postpartum depression from a Senegalese-American viewpoint.
