When Perimenopause And Postpartum Overlap with Dr. Shosh Bennett
Description
According to the CDC, women are having babies later in life. "First births for older mothers increased, with a 12.6% rise for those aged 30 to 34 and a 25% increase for mothers aged 35 and older."
The continuing trend of delayed motherhood means more cases of older moms experiencing perimenopause during their postpartum recovery period. With very similar symptoms between perimenopause and postpartum, how can a person tell what is happening or even know what to do about it?
On this episode, Dr Shosh explains symptoms, mental health impact, and evidence-based support.
