postpartum express - the consult for the busy new mum.
you’re tired. you barely have your hands free these days. you’re eating vegemite toast for breakfast + skipping lunch or somehow managing an almond croissant with a lukewarm (ish) coffee down… you haven’t got the mental space for meal planning or prepping. your body is tired. you cannot remember where you put the nappy cream. you need to sit more, rest your pelvic floor. but also need to move your body to move your mind.
I get it - because I have been there, twice.
postpartum is busy in a whole new way and isn’t this true - you’re tired AF. so you blame all your feels on that - it’s just motherhood.
but what if it isn’t “just motherhood”?
did you know 1/10 women will get an underactive thyroid gland postpartum?
and that our thyroid becomes more defective after each baby we birth?
did you know your iron requirements jump from 18mg/day to 30mg/day if you’re breastfeeding?
what about how much B12, electrolytes and iron you’re passing through your breastmilk?
are you on the right supplements to support your sleep changes? energy shifts?
look - I get it. it is SO HARD to make yourself a priority after you’ve just given birth. FUCK, it’s hard!!!
BUT - what is harder….. your health getting worse, feeling less like your best self, while feeding a newborn and raising a child.
this is exactly why I recognised a typical 75 minute initial consult is far too long for busy (and tired) new mums.
this consult is an EXPRESS.
45 min of your day.
providing you with EASY takeaways to stay ON IT - your health.
I want to be able to give you the best advice that’s practical and achievable, no nonsense.
I need you to get bloods done anywhere after 6 weeks postpartum to support your tailored treatment.
know this: mums deserve the BEST.
that’s you, you’re a mum now - and your baby’s mum needs to be looked after <3
