What's Up Wednesdays!

Welcome back!

Today's episode is going to be a little different - in that I am pressing pause for the next two weeks to take a little time to rest, reflect and honestly to empty my cup. I find that we all need that from time to time, and I hope you give yourself permission to do the same when your body says, "Hey, let's slow down for a bit."

🎧 What’s Up Wednesdays – New Episode!
Welcome back to For the Love of Parenting, where every Wednesday we dive into real, relevant, and empowering conversations to support you on your parenting journey.

🎙️ Episode Title: Mama, When Was Your Last Check-Up?
Hosted by: Kimberly Myers, IBCLC | Pregnancy Concepts, LLC

Episode Summary:
Today, we’re turning the spotlight back on you, Mama. While baby checkups are important, your healing journey deserves just as much attention. In this episode, we dive into what should really happen at your 6-week visit and why your care shouldn’t stop there. From physical recovery and mental health to pelvic floor support and proactive follow-ups, we’re unpacking the truth about postpartum check-ups—what’s missing, what matters, and how to advocate for more.

Whether you’re newly postpartum or a few months (or years!) in, this conversation is filled with practical advice, evidence-based tips, and out-of-the-box ways to protect your well-being.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• What to expect (and ask for) at postpartum visits
• How to track your own healing and why it matters
• Ways to use technology, journaling, and community support
• The role of your support team—what they can do to advocate for you
• How to reclaim postpartum care as an ongoing process

Takeaway Message:
You’ve got this, Mama—and if today’s episode gave you even one helpful nugget, I hope you run with it! And hey, if you’re a partner, friend, grandparent, or part of a mama’s support squad, don’t just listen—lean in, speak up, and pass it on. Until next time, take care.
