Are you someone who is fascinated by all the pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood stuff few people talk about because they're too embarrassed? If so, welcome to the motherload of all things taboo, or at least really wild and interesting. The Asking for a Pregnant Friend podcast is based off the book of the same name and dives into all of the pregnancy, birth, and mothering topics that make many people blush or scratch their heads.
I do all the boring research so you don't have to and bring you interviews with the leading experts in the topics I cover. I also share all the things about myself, Bailey Gaddis. I'm all about TMI. You'll also hear stories from brave women who gave permission to have their stories shared. So come along, my friend, on a journey into the beautiful underbelly of making, growing, and raising babies.
After having a baby, you will go through three stages of postpartum bleeding. This postpartum bleed is called lochia and consists of blood, tissue lining of your uterus, amniotic fluid, different bacteria, microorganisms, and any leftover fetal membranes. In this episode, we discuss the three stages of lochia: lochia rubra, lochia serosa, and lochia alba, including what to expect and when to seek medical advice.
