Welcome to the first episode of Season 2 of Breaking Barriers, the Mental Health Podcast! In this powerful and insightful episode, we sit down with Dr. Jennifer Schell, a seasoned OBGYN and postpartum specialist, to delve into the often-overlooked realities of postnatal care.
We prepare so much for the arrival of a baby, but what about what comes after? Join us as we discuss the crucial importance of postnatal education-because the journey doesn’t end at childbirth. Dr. Schell shares her expertise on breastfeeding, bonding with your newborn, and navigating the emotional and mental challenges that many new mothers face.
In this episode, we break down the three types of postpartum depression-Baby Blues, Postpartum Depression, and Postpartum Psychosis-helping you understand the signs, symptoms, and when it’s time to seek help. We also explore the often-debated topic of breastfeeding, emphasizing that the right choice is the one that’s best for you and your baby. Whether you choose to breastfeed, pump, or use formula, this episode is all about removing the stigma and embracing informed, judgment-free decisions.
Tune in for an honest conversation that sheds light on the realities of new motherhood, the challenges women face, and the importance of compassionate, non-judgmental support. This is an episode every new mother, and those who support them, won’t want to miss.
