1(ish) year postpartum reflections: motherhood, pregnancy, & breastfeeding, oh my!
🎧 Listen to my honest thoughts on this stage of life
It’s absolutely WILD to think that it’s been over a year since Miles joined our family (like, sorry, how do I have a 15-month-old already?!).
I have so much to say about this stage of life.
It feels…
simple. yet chaotic.
new. yet instinctual.
vivid. yet blurry.
joyful. yet draining.
slow. yet fast.
Safe to say, motherhood has been a trip. Some parts are amazing, some draining, some neutral — and today I’m coming at you with an authentic, no-nonsense recap of the past 15 months of my life as a new mom. (Let’s just say, I had a lot of thoughts)
From pre-conception to labor, all the way to postpartum, marriage, body, and logistics, I’m breaking it alllllllll down in this podcast-ish episode.
When I knew I was “ready” to have kids
Things I would (and wouldn’t) do if I got pregnant again
How I’ve changed since becoming a mom
Did I have… name regret?!
My experience in the postpartum phase (physically & mentally)
The many hormonal shifts I experienced and how they felt— postpartum, getting my period back early, weaning from nursing, etc.
The logistics (and specifics!) of our careers, maternity leave, paternity leave, etc.
How our marriage has evolved (and also how it’s stayed the same) since becoming parents
A more thorough review of my breastfeeding, pumping, and weaning experience
A little pep talk on embracing YOUR unique motherhood journey
And just a general “peek behind the curtain” of how I have approached motherhood, postpartum, & beyond!
My goal for this particular episode is an off-the-cuff chat about the ups and downs and in-betweens of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood.
