About this listen
In this episode of The Postpartum Years, Dr. Mary Ellen Kramp sits down with Leah to share an honest, deeply personal look at postpartum recovery across three very different births. From diastasis recti and chronic back pain to mastitis, oversupply, tongue ties, and abrupt weaning, Leah reflects on how each postpartum chapter brought new challenges, and new lessons.
Together, they explore the physical realities of abdominal separation after C-sections, when physical therapy is enough and when surgery becomes necessary, and how breastfeeding experiences can vary dramatically from child to child. Leah also opens up about fear, guilt, and grief — including the emotional impact of sudden weaning and the trauma that can linger long after birth. This conversation is a powerful reminder that postpartum recovery is not one-size-fits-all, that support can be life-changing, and that women deserve informed care long after the baby arrives.
