Grief in Motherhood
46m · PublishedOur society likes to focus on the happy parts of motherhood, but the fact of the matter is, mothers experience a lot of grief in the postpartum period.
Grief isn’t always about losing someone close to us. Grief can also look like:
Losing a part of yourself
Losing your freedom
Longing for a relationship you wish you had
In this week’s episode motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women’s health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch, are chatting about what grief in motherhood looks like and means for them. Alyson discusses her own struggles with grief when she returned to work after her son was born. Marcy reflects on things she could have done differently during her postpartum periods. If you are experiencing grief, know that you are not alone!
And, in case you missed it last week…Alyson also gives us a second dose of her incredible Professor Mcgonagall impression, NBD.
Be sure to join us every Wednesday for new episodes of No Mama Left Behind. We share a variety of topics related to motherhood, pregnancy, the postpartum period, recovery, mental health, vaginas, and everything in between!

44m · PublishedYou wouldn’t run a marathon without training, would you?
Well, the same should be said about giving birth. Imagine learning different stretches to help during labor, effective positions to birth in, and how to breathe during contractions. If you could learn how to greatly minimize your risk of tearing, would you?
So much of modern maternal medicine teaches pregnant moms what to do with the baby…but is lacking when it comes to preventing or reducing common postpartum issues for the mom.
In this week’s episode motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women’s health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch, are talking all about modern day birth prep, what is lacking, and what is available for YOU to advocate for yourself during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

33m · PublishedWho mothers us moms? Is it our partner? Our own mother who lives out-of-state? What does it even mean to ‘Mother the Mother’?
In this week’s episode motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women’s health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch, do a deep dive into what it means to ‘Mother the Mother’, and the answer isn’t all that simple.
For many women, especially those who are estranged from their mother, who have lost their mom, or whose mother doesn't live within close proximity of them, it is really difficult or borderline impossible to have our own needs met in the same way we mother our children. Is it our responsibility? Does that add to the already long list of the invisible load we carry? Or, is it our partner’s job to mother us?
Dr. Marcy and Alyson share glimpses into their relationships with their partners and emotional needs during trying times as they try to come up with the answer to, “who the f**k is taking care of us??”
Be sure to join us every Wednesday for new episodes of No Mama Left Behind. We share a variety of topics related to motherhood, pregnancy, the postpartum period, recovery, mental health, vaginas, and everything in between!

Grab your stanley cup and get cozy, Mamas. Alyson shares her recent birth story with baby #2. Let’s just say…it didn’t quite go as planned.
