Ep 144: A Vote for Better Postpartum Care with Skyler Jacobs, CNM

The Birth Lounge Podcast - A podcast by HeHe Stewart

Categories:

In today's episode, HeHe is joined by Certified Nurse Midwife, Skyler Jacobs, to discuss how the current US postpartum care schedule sorely fails birthing people in getting them appropriate support after having a baby! Skyler is a big proponent of every birthing person getting a 2-week follow-up in addition to the expected 6-week check-up! We chat about how beneficial both visits would be and for different reasons. At the 2-week appointment, Skyler shares that providers would be assessing totally different things than at the 6-week appointment. She even shares how you can have a conversation with your provider to inquire if this may be an option for you!    Shop Well + Worthy Co (15% off with code: TBHL15 ): www.wellandworthyco.com Join The Birth Lounge: www.thebirthlounge.com
