I was disappointed by this episode. I learned and used a fertility-awareness method (with a consultant) and successfully used it for years to prevent and then plan pregnancy. I love the body awareness it gave me and the freedom I had to avoid all of the negative side effects of most other contraception methods. I plan to continue using fertility awareness postpartum and was hoping to get some helpful information for how to do this while breastfeeding. This episode mostly just described these methods as ineffective and didn't give much helpful information for how to use a method like this method effectively.
great episode! there needs to be more support and info on the pp period.
1. Be an advocate for yourself 2. Symptoms of pre-eclampsia 3. Monitor blood pressure and weight
Great podcast
