12 | Amy Carmody's Postpartum Story - Cesarean Recovery, Finding your own Parenting Groove and the Intense Love and Adoration of her babies

In today's episode, Amy Carmody is back to discuss her two postpartum experiences. Like her two births, she explains how wildly different the second postpartum period was and what systems she put in place in order to recover from her c-section, continue to run her business, and have precious time with her new baby.

Amy also shares:
- the intense vulnerability of postpartum and why nervous system regulation is important
- her shock about not feeling the immediate, overwhelming love and connection with her first baby
- the food intolerances and health problems she faced in the postpartum period
- the unnecessary stress of infant sleep and what your baby "should be doing"
- the amazing support she received from her maternal child health nurse
- the importance of setting up support systems in order to thrive
- the importance of touching your c-section scar, doing scar mobilisation and nerve stimulation
- the importance of listening to your intuition and holding your baby as much as you can
- the beauty of feeling at one with her baby and the intense loving moments with both of her boys

This is another beautiful episode as Amy shares her experience and wisdom so openly and generously. In case you missed Amy's first episode, she runs an online yoga and movement platform that has a dedicated section for pre and postnatal.  She offers a 30 day trial that I highly recommend checking out if you're in this phase of life!
