In this episode, we continue our conversation with Joy Kiesch, our DIAH mama who had her first baby Dakota at home. We dive into some of the things that pop up in the early postpartum stage. Things like dealing with family and visitors, informing people about the birth and how you deal with the outside energy, comments, etc. What happens when the whole “I just had a baby!” thing starts to sink in. You’re 72 hours in and just lose it. Crying. Don’t know what to do. Joy is real, raw and totally awesome to share what she experienced. Anyone interested in consuming your placenta in some way after birth? How about a smoothie?! And of course we chat about how this new phase can impact your relationship with your partner, and how you can work on staying connected. Thank you so much to Joy for being brave and bold and for sharing your story with us and the DIAH community!
