Studies are revealing that it can take 1-2 years (and in some cases even longer) for a woman’s brain, hormones and body to fully recover after pregnancy and delivery due to the dramatic hormone shifts, significant brain restructuring and lengthy physical healing process.

Understanding the hormonal landscape:

A woman’s hormones experience the most dramatic shift of any period in her life after giving birth. While some hormones stabilize within months, others can take a year or longer, especially if breastfeeding.

📑Sudden crash of pregnancy hormones: The delivery of the placenta causes an immediate, massive, and rapid drop in estrogen and progesterone, which were at extremely high levels throughout the pregnancy. This sharp withdrawal is a key cause of the “baby blues” involving mood swings, sadness and irritability in the first couple of weeks.

📑Prolactin and oxytocin for breastfeeding: If a woman breastfeeds, her levels of prolactin (the milk-producing hormone) and oxytocin (the bonding hormone) stay elevated for months. These hormonal changes suppress ovulation and can cause vaginal dryness and lowered libido. It is not until breastfeeding is significantly reduced or stopped that these hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels, which can take well over a year.

📑The stress hormone cortisol: The combination of physical recovery and sleep deprivation causes the stress hormone cortisol to remain elevated for an extended period. High cortisol can contribute to feelings of anxiety and fatigue and can prevent the balancing and regulation of hormones by the body.

📑Thyroid fluctuation: Some women, particularly those with a history of thyroid issues, can experience thyroid dysfunction for several months after birth. This can affect mood and energy levels and further disrupt the hormonal balance.

See comments section as I will give details on the brain’s recovery and the body’s physical recovery from pregnancy (out of room here)❤️
