Everything you need to know about the 4th Trimester and Postpartum Recovery. Video

So much attention goes into growing a healthy baby. The appointments, the scans, the supplements, the birth classes. But the moment baby arrives, the focus shifts almost entirely to the newborn while mum is expected to just go back to normal programming.

That is not good enough. And in this episode of The Bean Talk, Riannon and Jeremy are here to change that.

Because while your baby has just been born, your body, hormones, mind and nervous system have just entered one of the biggest transitions of your life. And you deserve just as much care, nourishment and support as your baby does.

In this episode, we cover:

* What the fourth trimester is and why postpartum recovery lasts far longer than most people think * What is actually happening in your body after birth including hormonal shifts, uterine healing and nervous system recovery * The dramatic drop in progesterone after birth and why it explains the emotional rollercoaster of the first few weeks * Baby blues versus postpartum anxiety and depression. Knowing the difference and when to seek support * How prolactin, oxytocin and cortisol all play a role in postpartum recovery and breastfeeding * Why postpartum depletion happens and what nutrients your body needs most after birth * Key postpartum nutrients including protein, iron, omega 3, iodine, selenium, vitamin D, choline, calcium and magnesium * Why preconception care and pregnancy nutrition directly determine how well you recover postpartum * The importance of rest, gentle movement and pelvic floor rehabilitation in postpartum recovery * Why bounce back culture is harmful and what your body actually needs instead * Postpartum mental health and the emotional changes that come with the fourth trimester * Why asking for help is one of the healthiest things a new mother can do * How nourishing yourself postpartum is one of the greatest gifts you can give your baby * Why healthy mums raise healthy families
