#8 Ready to Pop: Your Wellbeing in the 4...

CAROLINE FORAN
About this episode

For the last episode in this 8 part pregnancy series, I am joined by Layla O’Mara, qualified postpartum doula and acupuncturist and founder of NuaNua.com (where she offers an incredible postpartum wellbeing course) to talk about coping with the fourth trimester. Yes there is a fourth. The baby has arrived but you are in recovery mode and everything is new to you. While the focus culturally tends to shift from you to baby, at this point, your wellbeing, mentally and physically has never been more important.
