Part 3: My sister Emma's postpartum journey- Recovery post birth, breast feeding difficulties, identity loss & sleep deprivation

In today’s episode I bring my sister Emma back onto the pod for part 3 of her motherhood journey where we dive deep into her postpartum journey. Covering everything from the first few moments after birth to the depths of sleep deprivation & adjusting to this new identity shift of motherhood. Emma shares her perineal recovery with us including how she dealt with an infected episiotomy site, swelling, pain & her struggles with incontinence postpartum. Emma also speaks openly about her battle with sleep deprivation and how this took a big physical & mental toll, not only her but also her Husband Cal. Emma shares some of her tips on how to best manage this period as well as what she wished she did differently to help herself, including asking for & accepting help. There are so many other goodies within this episode so we cannot wait for you to sit back & listen!
