German And Irish Postpartum Care

I chat with Newborn Mothers graduate Layla O'Mara from NuaNua. Together we discuss the system of ‘wochenbett’ in Germany - where you are cared for by a midwife in your home for 40 days, the difference this care makes in your long-term health and the contrast of its absence. At the core of this conversation, we explore how publicly funded or insurance provided postpartum care is the way of the future.
