How Well Are We Looking After Our New Mums?

Today we explore the post partum period for mum. Are we supporting our new mums well, in terms of restoration or are we expediting them back to their pre pregnancy activities without this magical piece of the jigsaw? 

Today I explore: 

 - how that immediate focus on baby can leave some mums in the dark

 - the pressure to start shifting baby weight V's restoring the post partum body

 - the perception that everyone can jump right back in to 'normal' activities and exercise

I also get into the nitty gritty of daily functions... can we  ask better questions to help with the more intimate, but often painful issues, of bowel movements, perineal trauma and returning to intimacy...
