In this week’s episode, we share anecdotal experiences about the diverse forms and unique challenges perinatal health takes in people’s lives.

Esther Kenigsberg and Devorah Kozlik discuss the red flags that a mom should watch out for after birth. They also dive deep into the trauma that can result from, or be reawakened by, the birth experience and discuss some of the healing methods that are available for it.
