130: Discussing Pregnancy & Postpartum with my OB/GYN, Dr. Nerissa Guballa from NewYork-Presbyterian Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns & Weill Cornell Medicine

Feb 11

In this episode, I am joined by my OB/GYN, Dr. Nerissa Guballa, from NewYork-Presbyterian Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns & Weill Cornell Medicine, to chat about how she became interested in her field, questions to ask your doctor when trying to conceive, the birthing experience and the changes our bodies go through, postpartum care, and much more. Plus, we answer questions submitted by the Freckled Foodie family and candidly chat about my birthing experience.

Key Takeaway / Points:

Suggested conversations to have with your doctor when starting the process of trying to conceive
The physical changes a body goes through during pregnancy and postpartum and how long that recovery phase really is
Postpartum care and the standard of having one appointment at six-weeks
Properly advocating for your care
Doulas in the delivery room
My birthing experience

The instructors with programs focused on postpartum pelvic floor that I mention: Kara Duval (freckledfoodie for 15% off), Megan Roup, and Dr. Alli Cain
