    🎶👶 The 12 Weeks of Birth 👶🎶 On the seventh week of LABOR, Liesel sent to me…Postpartum Sex Tips! 😈🤭

    It's week 7 of The 12 Weeks of Birth!
    In this re-air, I interview my friend Jeanice all about pelvic floor sexual health!!
    Here are the questions we go over!
    What exactly happens during pregnancy (and during delivery) to disrupt sexual health? How long should I wait to have sex postpartum? Should sex hurt at all? What should I do if it does? Give me your best tips for having a pain-free experience. When should I seek help from a pelvic floor specialist? How do I even find one? What should I expect a typical visit to look like? How long does treatment typically last? I’m SO embarrassed (and nervous/scared), and I can’t even think about going to a pelvic floor specialist...what should I do? Sex has never really felt great to me, and now that I’ve had a baby it’s even worse. Is this something that pelvic floor therapy can help with? Any last tips you have for moms struggling with sexual health after pregnancy? Feeling alone on your postpartum journey?

    It’s week 3 of the 12 weeks of birth! This week I chose to re-air a solo episode talking all about spontaneous labor versus inductions, and why spontaneous labor is typically preferred. I also touch on the timeline of medical inductions and what that entails.
    You’ll learn about a few things you can do during your pregnancy to prep your body for labor, too! And then at the end of the episode I share the quick version of what I personally did with both of my boys to get myself into labor.

Understandable and Answers All of My Questions

This is my favorite podcast for pregnancy so far. Some podcasts can be doom and gloom and some can just be overwhelming or not broken down for those that are not in the medical system. There are so many episodes with this specific podcast that I can generally always find something I’m interested in listening to. I also love that she places emphasis on listening to your body a lot but also knows what is typical in a hospital setting.

The best show for down-to-earth advice

I’ve been listening to this show for 2 months and feel more informed than ever. It’s like one big exhale. Liesel’s insight is approachable, filled with the facts, while leaving room for your own instincts. AND her programs are so. good!!! Thank you Liesel for all you do!

Learned so much!

As a momma to be, I have been listening to MLN since I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks. I love Liesel’s fun, friendly, digestible podcast and I have learned SO much. Pregnancy/labor/birth info can be so overwhelming and intimidating, but that couldn’t be farther from her podcast. Liesel presents the information and a wealth of knowledge on so many varied topics in an easy-to-listen format. My husband and I just did her free workshop, 3 Secrets to an Even Better Birth and both learned a ton. I plan to purchase her Natural Birth plan course as well. I recommend this podcast to all my pregnant friends as well. Thank you for a wealth of information, MLN!
