Made For Birth; The VBAC Podcast For Birth After Cesarean

84- Your Birth Impacts Your Postpartum

Katherine Stephens - Made 4 Birth Episode 84

When your birth story doesn’t go as planned, it can leave a mark on your heart that shows up in postpartum in ways you didn’t expect. In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey—becoming a mom 9 years ago through a cesarean I never imagined—and how that unexpected path made my postpartum heavier than it had to be.


We’ll talk about the hidden connection between your birth and your postpartum mental health, how to recognize when those lingering emotions might be affecting you, and why pushing it aside because you “should be happy” can keep you stuck.


If you’ve ever replayed your birth in your head, felt guilt or shame over your feelings, or wondered why postpartum feels harder than you thought it would…this episode is for you. You’re not broken. You’re postpartum. And you deserve to be seen.
