Parents who participated in Penn State’s INSIGHT study learned skills to help their newborn sleep better. A new study shows that those skills also helped those parents’ second children. Other benefits of INSIGHT, like healthier weight gain, have also been observed in second-born children.

Some normal early postpartum changes to know about!

There are some ‘weird’ sensations that can happen early postpartum. Most docs and even some midwives don’t mention them, and they can feel really scary if you’re not prepared, so save these somewhere if you’re pregnant to re-read before birth!

⭐️ One of the weirdest can happen when mama first stands up after birth. There’s a lot of space where baby was and the diaphragm and organs can now go back their usuals positions, but it can feel like the wind got knocked out of you for a second. It passes quickly but can feel really odd. ⁠

⭐️ Many new mamas are alarmed to find themselves drenched in sweat the first couple nights postpartum - don’t be! Your body releases fluid accumulated in pregnancy (+ IV fluids in labor). Have a change of jammies and an extra blanket nearby if you feel wet/chilled from sweating.⁠
⁠
⭐️ Fear of p*eing or pooping post vaginal birth, especially with a tear/repair, is common. If p*eing burns, use a squeeze bottle with tepid water as you p*e; for pooping, eat fiber, take deep breaths, and take it slow, knowing it’s safe to let go - and go.⁠

⭐️ That first latch of baby to breast can feel like WOW MAMA intense. That gets easier. For the first few days or weeks after birth, let down can feel a way, too. For me it felt like a million little grains of glass moving through my breasts - not painful but super tingly.
⁠
⭐️ Mood swings: Hormone fluctuations can lead to wild mood shifts from intense moments of elation and gratitude to rage or sadness. This intensity will pass, though mom-feelings are still intense. Learn to ride the waves and have tools for inner calm.
⁠
⭐️ Different from postpartum depression, the baby blues are a common and normal period of weepiness, anxiety, and irritability in the first 5 days after birth. It’s due to massive hormone shifts that occur after birth, and is aggravated by fatigue and low blood sugar. If you feel down for longer than a few days, or find that the sadness is interfering with your ability to care for yourself and/or your baby, please talk to your practitioner.⁠

What were some of the postpartum shifts that took you by surprise or you wish someone had told you about?

Once again, we’ve heard from a couple patients that they’ve received letters stating we are out of network with Cigna. This is not true. WE ARE STILL IN NETWORK WITH CIGNA! Checked with Cigna representative yesterday. We are working on getting in network with Cigna Connect but that has not happened yet. Please call or email with questions about insurance.
