A guide to what’s happening in your body (and why) in the weeks after delivery and beyond. Physical shakiness, brain fog, crying without knowing why… these are all common and tied to physiological changes that happen naturally after birth. Knowing what to expect can help you feel less alarmed when it hits.
What’s inside:
A clear, honest breakdown of the major hormones at play during the postpartum period: estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, oxytocin, cortisol, and thyroid - and what each one affects
The physical symptoms most people don’t connect to hormones: hair loss, night sweats, joint pain, etc.
A timeline of what to expect hormonally from birth through the first few months
How to tell the difference between normal hormonal fluctuations and signs that warrant a call to your provider
Practical, evidence-based ways to support your body through the transition
For anyone preparing for birth and postpartum, or already in the thick of it trying to make sense of what their body is doing.
