5 predefined postpartum topics
The conversation is focused on five predefined Postpartum topics and the participants personal experience of these topics. What goes well and where do we need improvement?
Mothers experience a drastic change of their body after the pregnancy. It includes hormonal changes, uterine healing, lactation, and shifts in physical energy levels. This working group will talk about these physiological changes and the need for (what) education and support.
The postpartum period brings emotional highs and lows, including hormonal mood swings, baby blues, and the potential for postpartum depression (PPD) or anxiety (PPA). The group will share ideas, questions and insights on what goed well and where can we improve.
Social and practical postpartum empowerment involves creating a supportive environment to meet daily needs and reduce feelings of isolation. How to ensure an engaged and supporting informal network?
Informed choice ensures that parents have access to accurate, unbiased information to make decisions about their postpartum care and parenting practices. What care provider provides what information?
Returning to work postpartum involves balancing professional responsibilities with the physical, emotional, and logistical demands of new parenthood. How to relate to employers and work policies?
