What happens when the doctor becomes the patient and mother of twins? 💗

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Dr. Christie Porter (@docwomenshealth) shares what motherhood taught her about medicine, empathy, and recovery. A board-certified OB-GYN, educator, and mama of four, Dr. Porter opens up about her C-section experience, twin pregnancy, and why she created The Informed Woman to empower moms through knowledge and grace.

From the raw emotions of postpartum depression to the myths about breastfeeding and body image, this conversation will help you release guilt, embrace flexibility, and see healing as a process — not a deadline.

✨ You’ll learn:

• How to navigate postpartum with compassion and confidence

• The truth about C-section recovery and scar care

• Why “being flexible” is a mom’s greatest strength

Reflection Question:

What expectation about motherhood can you release today — to make more space for grace?
