Whether it’s your first, your fifth, or somewhere in between | | Your Postpartum Recovery: What’s Normal and What’s Not? | | Whether it’s your first baby, your fifth, or somewhere in between, at some point after delivery you may find yourself wondering, “Is this normal?!” And you wouldn’t be alone! With a little information about what’s normal, what’s not, and what can be done to support your healing postpartum, you can feel less alone and better-equipped to handle the emotional and hormonal shifts that occur after birth. | | Find Your Normal | | |  | Postpartum Anxiety Is The Mental Health Issue No One Is Talking About | | If you’ve never heard the term postpartum anxiety (PPA), you’re not alone. This mental health mood disorder is the nasty sister of postpartum depression (PPD), and many people within the medical community aren’t even aware of it. Unlike PPD, which has been well-studied, there hasn’t been substantial research devoted to PPA. This lack of research means that there’s no screening tool like there is for PPD, so PPA often gets missed by healthcare providers. | | Learn The Signs of PPA |  | Postpartum Hormone Changes Happen. Here’s How to Find Balance. | | If you’ve recently given birth, your body is going through natural hormonal fluctuations that might make you feel a little different (on top of, you know, having a baby). Rest assured that these fluctuations are normal. That said, you should know what’s happening in your body and why, so we talked to two Parsley Health experts about what to expect from your hormones after you give birth, how long these changes will last, and how to promote postpartum hormone balance. | | Balance Your Hormones | | | | Still feeling us out?

Evaluate your meds. Discuss which medications you’re taking with your doctor since some shouldn’t be taken during pregnancy, says Jaclyn Tolentino, DO, a family medicine physician specializing in women’s health and fertility optimization at Parsley Health.

In order to use these pretax funds, you'll need to submit a letter of medical necessity from your primary care provider that explains why the health coaching service is needed. You can also see a health coach through a functional care provider like Parsley Health, which accepts in-network insurance for its monthly membership plan in select states (currently New York and California). | | Read more | | | | | | | | | | | |
