Description

In this episode, Lina gets emotional on the mic (again) but this time talking about how her anxiety is getting worse as time goes on. She shares how she woke up with a panic attack the other night and what her intrusive thoughts were about. Lina talks about how although she feels lucky that she hasn't had any nausea or food aversions, she's been experiencing perinatal anxiety and pregnancy insomnia. She talks about she believes that sleep in the foundation to having good mental health and how the second sleep deteriorates, everything else seems to go too. Lina talks about why she's interested in hypnobirthing for her 2nd baby. For her first delivery, she suffered from a full body allergic reaction that her doctors and dermatologists couldn't diagnose. Through self-diagnosis, she suspects that it was PUPPP (pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy) that turned into a postpartum condition. She thinks the postpartum condition could have been caused by the amount of medication she was given between induction and the epidural and how her body was oversensitive and just started to attack itself. Support the showConnect with Lina on @linaforrestal on InstagramFollow the @newmamaspodcast on InstagramRead Lina's Blog: www.linaforrestal.comSupport the Show: Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/newmamaspodcast)
