In this first episode of *Stethoscopes & Strollers*, I'm diving deep into my own postpartum journey, sharing the raw, real, and unfiltered version of what I experienced as a physician mom. It’s the untold story that inspired me to become a coach for physician moms and help others who are navigating the challenging early years of motherhood.
Key Points Covered:
- Expectations vs. Reality: I talk about how my expectations for my second postpartum journey were upended, even with better support and control over my schedule. Despite my optimism, it was still a challenging time.
- Physical Pain and Breastfeeding Struggles: I detail my intense pain following childbirth, breastfeeding difficulties due to an anatomy mismatch, and how my daughter’s reflux added to the challenges.
- Support System Dynamics: Despite having my mom and husband nearby, their focus on their own experiences made it hard for me to feel fully supported.
- Navigating Marriage and Parenting: My husband and I struggled to divide responsibilities equitably, leading to resentment. A trip to Cabo became a turning point in our relationship after intense conversations and a humorous therapy mishap.
- Finding Community in Friends: My friend Dr. P was a lifeline through it all. Her non-judgmental support validated my feelings and gave me the strength to continue.
- Importance of Self-Care: I learned the value of asking for help and prioritizing my healing through pelvic floor therapy, regular massages, and mental health support.
