Postpartum or Perimenopause? What Millennials Need to Know About Life’s Next Period with Lauren A. Tetenbaum LCSW, JD, PMH-C
Description
Night sweats, mood swings, brain fog, midsection weight gain and fatigue - are all symptoms of the postpartum transition. They’re also symptoms of perimenopause.
In today’s episode, Chelsea is joined by therapist, advocate, former attorney, and author of Millennial Menopause, Lauren Tetenbaum — aka The CounseLaur — to unpack why we need to be talking about the full spectrum of womanhood: from postpartum to perimenopause to menopause.
With more women starting and growing families later in life, it’s becoming more common to experience overlapping symptoms of postpartum and perimenopause — and many don’t even realize it. The average age of menopause is 51 in the U.S., but perimenopausal symptoms can begin years earlier and last up to 10 years.
If you’re feeling frustrated or dismissed by healthcare providers, struggling to get support from your spouse or seeking to feel seen and heard, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
