For today's episode, we would like to implement a "Content Warning" as we discuss some topics that may be upsetting to some of our listeners. Tess is an ED Nurse from Sydney, and today she opens up about her postpartum experience and how challenging it was for her mental health. We touch on her postnatal depression, lack of bonding, and a condition called DMER (Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex). Tess also shares how she and her partner prepare for baby number two and what resources will be implemented. We really enjoyed holding this space for her today and hope this episode solidifies for other mothers that they are not alone with their postpartum challenges.
