Full Story
i think that is really terrifying 恐ろしい、怖い、for people, postpartum
they don’t realize 〔頭で思考・理解して～に〕気付く
it’s like the little things right
going to the bathroom, sex
i would love for this to be a thing
like for everyone who has a baby,
who’s like taking their newborn photos and like look at me
like to also hold up their bag of laxatives and tylenol
i’m dr maggie smith
it’s really nice to meet you both
my name is maria alcoke
i am based in maryland
and i have a two and a half year old and a six-year-old
hi i’m jenny laroche
i live in new york city
i’m a broadway and television actress and performer
um i have a six-month-old
so i have plenty of questions
and all the things to talk about
so the post-partum period really refers to the time you know at which the baby’s born
and then really the end point is not well defined or really agreed upon
what we’re referring to is the your physiology going back to what it was in your pre-pregnancy state
because so much does change when you’re pregnant
you know most people thought of the poster period as six weeks
i think now we’re really understanding that that lasts a lot longer
i think that there’s a lot of confusion around that six week mark
that’s when you get your postpartum check
that’s when you know most often you get cleared for exercise
and a lot of women i think are confused by that
what does that mean?
does that mean i can just go start running you know training for my marathon again ?
i was a little intimidated to go back to what i would call like normal activity
i mean i was completely exhausted emotionally and physically
um so i definitely believe that the postpartum period is significantly longer than six weeks
and in some cases people say you know postpartum’s forever
because your body has gone through a life-changing experience
six weeks i find totally laughable
and i get it to an extent of like i was cleared to do everything
but i think i would say like two to two and a half months is that i personally felt located
i think just from pushing for so long and from laboring for so long
you know your body physically takes time to heal
i think the most traumatic uh things that no one wants to share
post pushing post labor is the fear that i would have using the bathroom
oh yeah that’s a huge one
people are very afraid of that first poop
so for anyone that’s gonna watch
the first time that you have a bowel movement
or even like urinate
like i was like oh my god am i going to hurt myself
that was like i’m terrified
when talking about women’s circles
and just connecting with friends
and talking about your experiences
like you never want to scare someone away right
you don’t want to say like oh “did you hear about the vaginal tear that i had?”
like people don’t necessarily want to hear that
but it’s part of the process right
it happens
it’s super common
even like sexually
like the healing of my vagina
i think that no one really talks about like sex postpartum
but most women are not at six weeks
is there a rare person that is ready for that
again mainly because a you’re exhausted
you are still coming out of a really you know
first of all a physically laborious experience you know birthing a child
then now you’re barely sleepingyou know
and then i think people don’t realize that you’re almost
your hormones are sort of in a menopausal state almost
when you are breastfeeding because your estrogen is still so low
that you can have things like hot flushes night sweats vaginal dryness
a lot of things that no one really talks about
pregnancy is one thing
but postpartum and labor
and those are the things that i think we have so little expectation for
every single thing that i had planned went out the window
and i was having such a hard time like i wanted control over so much
and there’s so little that you have control over when you have a baby
they are not inside of you anymore
and they are not you
they are their own person
um and that’s i struggled with that for a really long time
and i never really put a label on it
i never said i have ppd i have ppa
but with my second
i was super aware of the fact that i knew i was gonna have the similar feelings
even though i did my best to manage them
but i think everyone needs to know that they’re not alone in that
no one is immune to those heavy and like extreme emotions in postpartum
i couldn’t agree more
like i didn’t know anything about postpartum anxiety
i knew and heard very much about postpartum depression
and so you know i was like okay as long as i don’t have any of those red flags
you know where i’m good
it’s almost like every emotion that you feel is heightened
that’s how i felt for me
i was already an anxious person during this pandemic
i had no idea that postpartum now was going to skyrocket that anxiety of caring
for not just myself but this little human you know
and just feeling like i know a lot of moms talk about like mom guilt
or like mom’s shame and like all of that was just heightened
i think women are so
we’re strong and we’re empowered and we’re independent
and so a lot of times that can work for us
and another time in other cases it can work against us
because it’s like you know trying to find your instinct
and trying to go with your gut can get you in a position where it’s like
oh gosh i really should have asked for help up front
i feel like a passenger in my own body
i think that’s the best way to describe it
but what you’re saying just validates and like makes me feel less crazy
because i was like is it just me?
it’s real
and you can’t really prepare for it
but yeah hopefully our conversation helps women understand that
like yeah this is pretty common
this is what we go through
and we’re better for the other side right
