Your six-week postpartum checkup is supposed to be a milestone in your recovery—but does it really cover everything you need? For many moms, this appointment feels more like a conversation about birth control than an actual check-in on their mental and physical well-being. In this episode, I’m breaking down what to really focus on postpartum, how to support your hormones and metabolism, and why the scale does not determine your progress.
Here's a sneak peek:
[1:02] I share about my 6-week postpartum checkup, birth control, getting weighed
[4:21] My focus for the first two months postpartum
[9:25] What to do after the first two months?
[12:41] My second and third postpartum experience
[14:00] We have a belief about what it means to get down to our pre-baby body and how you talk to your body about it
Your six-week postpartum checkup may be a routine milestone, but true postpartum healing goes way beyond a quick doctor’s visit. Instead of focusing on bouncing back, prioritize fueling your body, supporting your hormones, and taking care of your mental health.
