    What an OBGYN Wants You To know About Pregnancy and Postpartum

    In this wide-ranging and honest conversation, we sit down with Dr. Mikhail Sarofim - gynaecologist, obstetrician and robotic surgeon, and the owner of Edens Women’s Health Clinic — to talk through the women’s health questions most people either panic-Google at 2am or avoid bringing up altogether. We cover what Dr. Sarofim wishes every woman understood about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, including the biggest myths and misinformation he sees (especially from social media), what’s actually normal during pregnancy versus what should be checked, and how to feel more confident walking into appointments. We also unpack the reality of fertility and cycle health, what to know before trying to conceive, and the truths behind common fears about birth control and long-term fertility. A huge part of this episode is about what happens after the baby arrives - because being “cleared at 6 weeks” doesn’t always mean you feel okay. We talk about the post-baby body, including pelvic floor changes, leaking, pain, libido shifts, period changes, and the symptoms women often silently tolerate because they assume it’s just part of motherhood. Dr. Sarofim also shares practical guidance on how to advocate for yourself, what to do if you feel dismissed, and how partners can show up better. Finally, we zoom out to the often-forgotten stage: women’s health after you’re done having kids. We discuss ongoing care, what a good “well-woman” check actually involves, the importance of cervical screening and HPV education, plus early conversations around perimenopause and why preventative care matters even when you’re not actively trying to conceive. This episode is packed with reassurance, clarity, and straight-talking advice - the kind that helps you feel less alone, more informed, and more empowered to take your health seriously.
