Descripción

Nobody prepares couples for the postpartum questions they are too embarrassed to ask out loud. Can you get pregnant 3 weeks after birth? Does breastfeeding actually prevent pregnancy? What really changes after a hysterectomy? And why do so many women feel completely blindsided by postpartum recovery? In this episode of The Waddling Truth, Alicia and Kristian answer the awkward, uncomfortable, and wildly misunderstood postpartum questions partners are secretly Googling at midnight. No sugarcoating. No fake “bounce back” nonsense. Just honest conversations about healing, hormones, sex, recovery, and what real postpartum life actually looks like. Alicia brings the clinical side after seeing tens of thousands of pregnancies and ultrasounds firsthand. Kristian brings the lived side after 5 postpartum recoveries in 7 years. And honestly? Some of the misinformation around postpartum recovery is scarier than the actual questions. Topics We Cover: • Pregnancy 3 weeks postpartum • Hysterectomy myths explained • Breastfeeding & fertility • Early menopause fears • Postpartum healing & intimacy • Questions husbands are afraid to ask 🎧 LISTEN HERE: Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-waddling-truth/id1869960733 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-waddling-truth/id1869960733] Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/2RaENY3jdlMyCKwV26AKUm?si=2TXk36KrSge6MdrkZK8hLA [https://open.spotify.com/show/2RaENY3jdlMyCKwV26AKUm?si=2TXk36KrSge6MdrkZK8hLA] ▶️ Watch on YouTube → https://youtube.com/@thewaddlingtruthpodcast?si=dY6saTgSWqwe5aux [https://youtube.com/@thewaddlingtruthpodcast?si=dY6saTgSWqwe5aux] 🌐 Website → https://thewaddlingtruth.com [https://thewaddlingtruth.com/] FOLLOW THE WADDLING TRUTH: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/thewaddlingtruth [https://www.instagram.com/thewaddlingtruth] TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@thewaddlers [https://www.tiktok.com/@thewaddlers] Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/share/18eteLhpWL/?mibextid=wwXIfr [https://www.facebook.com/share/18eteLhpWL/?mibextid=wwXIfr] #PregnancyPodcast #Postpartum #Motherhood #Breastfeeding #NewMom #ParentingPodcast #PregnancyMyths #Marriage

Postpartum Isn’t Over in 6 Weeks: The Raw Truth No One Tells Moms

Everyone warns you about labor—but not about the long, messy months that come after. In this episode of The Waddling Truth, Alicia (ultrasound tech and mom) and Kristian (mom of 5 girls under 7) pull back the curtain on what postpartum really feels like when the six-week check-up is over and you’re still bleeding, crying, and trying to recognize yourself again. We talk about: * Why the “six-week recovery” myth hurts moms more than it helps * Intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and the scary stuff you’re afraid to say out loud * The pressure to act “okay” at your doctor visit when you’re not * How your identity shifts with every baby (and why feeling lost is normal) * Why reaching out for help doesn’t make you a bad mom—it makes you a supported one If you’re a pregnant woman, a new mom in the thick of the fourth trimester, or a partner who wants to show up better, this episode gives you permission to drop the perfection and tell the truth. You are not broken. You are not alone. Listen in, share this with a mama who needs it, and follow The Waddling Truth for more unfiltered pregnancy and motherhood conversations straight from Central Texas.
