Description

We sat down for our second session with Dr. Sarah Oreck - reproductive psychiatrist, medical advisor for Natural Cycles fertility tracking app, and mom of three.

We tackled the mystical "6-week check-up" for postpartum moms and why it can feel overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time.

We discussed how to handle conversations about intimacy during the fourth trimester, and what Dr. Oreck would change about how our country supports moms.

We get a little salty, we get a little riled up, and we lay out the facts.

This conversation is equal parts validation (once again - no, you're not crazy) and action plan for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re carrying it all.
