Publisher's Description

The new mom's guide to recognizing what is and isn't normal after childbirth New motherhood changes everything--your body, your brain, your emotions. But there comes a point when fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, hair loss, weight gain, and other notorious postpartum symptoms no longer fall under the category of "normal" and instead signal a deeper health issue. Many common postpartum symptoms are exactly the same as those of chronic health conditions that can be triggered by pregnancy and childbirth. So how do you know when it's time to seek help? As a functional medicine doctor specializing in women's health and hormones--and a mother herself--Dr. Alexandra MacKillop knows how often postpartum struggles go unrecognized, undertreated, or dismissed. The Postpartum Check-In is designed to change that. She helps you: ● Decipher your symptoms and identify potential diagnoses ● Trust your instincts and stop explaining away warning signs ● Advocate for yourself when speaking to your physician ● Understand natural, alternative, and holistic treatment options ● Choose the smartest, safest path toward restoring your health Backed by the most current research available, The Postpartum Check-In is your trustworthy guide to reclaiming your mind, body, and well-being after having a baby. You deserve real answers--and real care.
