Description

 

The first days after giving birth can feel like a blur—equal parts magical, messy, and downright intense. In this episode of the Early-Momming Podcast, Hillary (RN, IBCLC, mom of four) and Erica walk through everything new moms wish they’d known about what happens after the baby is born.

From physical symptoms like cramps and night sweats to emotional rollercoasters and baby’s first latch, Hillary brings both clinical insight and personal experience to help you feel prepared, not blindsided.
