In this episode, Dr. Natalie Forsell kicks off a raw and revealing 3-part series on the gaping holes in our postpartum healthcare system. You’ll hear about the cultural shift from home to hospital birth, the origins of the six-week checkup, and why moms in the U.S. are still being failed by outdated models of care.
This isn’t about blaming OBs—it’s about understanding the system, reclaiming our stories, and demanding better.
