Description

Having a baby is life-changing — and not just because you’re suddenly responsible for a tiny human. In this My Bump2Baby Expert Podcast episode, Carla chats with the brilliant Piroska Cavell, Medical Director at Clinic Sese and former midwife, about what actually happens to your hormones after giving birth.

We dive into:

  • Why you might feel emotional, anxious or unlike yourself
  • How birth affects your body differently depending on whether you’ve had a C-section or vaginal delivery
  • The truth about postpartum bleeding, clots, and infections
  • When to expect your period (and your sex drive!) to return
  • How hormones like cortisol, insulin, oxytocin and progesterone affect your recovery
  • Signs to look out for when baby blues could become postnatal depression
  • Realistic advice on eating, hydration, weight, libido and contraception post-birth

Piroska brings years of medical experience and a warm, no-judgement approach to women’s health — and this episode is full of reassurance, clarity and real talk every new mum deserves to hear.

✨ Whether you’re weeks postpartum or planning ahead, this episode will help you feel more in tune with your body and more supported in your journey.
