Having a baby is life-changing — and not just because you’re suddenly responsible for a tiny human. In this My Bump2Baby Expert Podcast episode, Carla chats with the brilliant Piroska Cavell, Medical Director at Clinic Sese and former midwife, about what actually happens to your hormones after giving birth.

We dive into:

Why you might feel emotional, anxious or unlike yourselfHow birth affects your body differently depending on whether you’ve had a C-section or vaginal deliveryThe truth about postpartum bleeding, clots, and infectionsWhen to expect your period (and your sex drive!) to returnHow hormones like cortisol, insulin, oxytocin and progesterone affect your recoverySigns to look out for when baby blues could become postnatal depressionRealistic advice on eating, hydration, weight, libido and contraception post-birth

Piroska brings years of medical experience and a warm, no-judgement approach to women’s health — and this episode is full of reassurance, clarity and real talk every new mum deserves to hear.

✨ Whether you’re weeks postpartum or planning ahead, this episode will help you feel more in tune with your body and more supported in your journey.
