In this episode of "A Little Bit of Life," host Tabitha "Little" welcomes back Courtney Spies to discuss living with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) as a new mom. What is POTS? You'd be surprised that this diagnosis is becoming ever more popular post-covid in our healthcare systems! A 2024 study that analyzed over 65 million U.S. patient records found the rate of new POTS cases jumped by more than five-fold since the start of the pandemic. And many that are diagnosed are WOMEN. How does this affect pregnancy? Childbirth? Postpartum with a diagnosis that many are figuring out alongside their doctors. Courtney shares her journey from diagnosis to managing POTS during pregnancy and postpartum. She explores the challenges of advocating for oneself in the medical system, the importance of a supportive community, and the balance between motherhood and health. Join us for an insightful conversation that offers hope and encouragement to those living with POTS.
