In this episode, we explore the science of postpartum recovery with Serena Saeed-Winn, CNM, WHNP, IBCLC. Serena explains why the standard six-week visit may miss key opportunities to support tissue healing, hormonal recalibration, lymphatic flow, and maternal mental health. Drawing from more than a decade of clinical experience, she discusses how multi-touchpoint care can enhance recovery and help families feel supported.
Serena Saeed-Winn, a certified nurse midwife, IBCLC, and women’s health nurse practitioner, emphasizes the importance of postpartum care in a recent podcast episode. In this conversation with host Sarah Trott, she sheds light on the value of postpartum midwifery care for families and the gaps that exist in the hospital system that limit postpartum care.
“You need some support in pregnancy, but if you talk to any parent, they’ll be like, Oh, actually the time I needed help was in the postpartum, like pregnancy just went along. But the time I really needed it was in that time when I had this newborn baby. You’re healing. And you also now are responsible for another human being that can’t do anything for themselves.”— Serena Saeed-Winn
