Was your postpartum experience what you expected? Did you have the support and education you needed? In this episode, I’m excited to share my conversation with Nurse Practitioner and Co-Founder of NAPS (Newborn and Parenting Support), Emily Silver. Emily and I talk about historically what support women typically had postpartum vs the common experience women are having today, and the resources available to make sure more women are supported by a village of support, education and community during such an important transition in their lives. There is such a focus on babies in the childbirth and postpartum era, it’s time to make sure you have what you need to lighten your motherload.
