The postpartum phase is not a mood shift, an emotional dip, or a “rough couple of weeks”. It is the single greatest hormonal crash in the human lifespan, a biological event so extreme that if it happened to anyone outside of childbirth, it would be treated as a medical crisis, not a personality change. Within just 72 hours estrogen and progesterone collapse more than 1,000% (meaning they fall to 1/10th of their level), dropping from the highest levels a human will ever experience to nearly zero. And, women endure this while healing from birth, producing milk around the clock, and surviving some of the worst sleep deprivation ever documented.

This crash doesn’t just affect mood, it impacts cognition, physical functioning, emotional regulation, and stress tolerance. Brain imaging shows that postpartum mothers temporarily shift into survival mode: heightened threat awareness, reduced cognitive bandwidth, and amplified emotional load - not because they’re overreacting, but because their brain is actively rewiring itself to protect a newborn who cannot survive without them.

At the same time, the body is rerouting nutrients, pulling minerals from the bones, healing tissues, stabilizing organs, and producing milk that costs 400-700 calories a day, and yet society expects mothers to “feel like themselves” within 6 weeks — a timeline completed disconnected from biology.

Postpartum isn’t weakness, it’s physiology under maximum load. If we truly want to support new mothers, we must start acknowledging the science: healing requires time, nourishment, help, support, and protection from overwhelm. When we honor the mother’s recovery, we strengthen the child she is raising, and that is how generational health begins.

Yelling at a toddler can affect the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and amygdala, which can lead to consequences like difficulty with emotional regulation, learning, memory, depression, anxiety, and/or a heightened stress response.

These brain regions are affected because the stress response triggered by yelling can lead to structural changes, such as smaller volumes in the prefrontal cortex and amygdala and impaired hippocampus function, due to the brain prioritizing survival over high-level functions and forming neural pathways that are constantly on alert for danger.

To elaborate, the affected brain regions:

📑Prefrontal cortex: This area is responsible for executive functions like decision-making, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
📑Hippocampus: This region is vital for learning and memory formation.
📑Amygdala: This almond-shaped part of the brain is the center for processing emotions, particularly fear and anxiety.

WHY THESE REGIONS ARE AFFECTED:

📑Stress response activation: Yelling triggers the brain’s “fight or flight” response, especially activating the amygdala and hippocampus. This physiological stress response can last for hours after the yelling stops and can lead to the brain’s being constantly on the alert for perceived threats.

📑Pruning and neural pathways development: During development, the brain undergoes significant “pruning” of neurons. When a child is repeatedly exposed to a stressful environment from yelling, the brain prioritizes the creation of neural pathways that react to danger. This can lead to over-pruning of the prefrontal cortex, which is essential for higher-level thinking, and the formation of an overactive amygdala that constantly scans for threats.

CONSEQUENCES OF STRUCTURAL CHANGES:

📑Emotional dysregulation: A smaller or less developed prefrontal cortex can make it harder for a child to manage their emotions, leading to increased anxiety and difficulty controlling impulses.
📑Impaired learning and memory: An affected hippocampus can impair a child’s ability to form new memories and learn effectively.

Maternal Stress Speeds Up Baby Teething

New research shows that mothers with higher cortisol levels during late pregnancy tend to have infants whose baby teeth erupt earlier than average.

The study tracked hormone levels in 142 pregnant women and followed their children’s tooth eruption patterns through the first two years of life.

Cortisol showed the strongest influence, with infants of high-cortisol mothers having up to four more erupted teeth by six months.

The findings suggest that prenatal stress may accelerate biological aging and early oral development.

The standard method for closing the uterus after cesarean delivery, used for over 50 years, may be causing a host of long-term health issues for millions of women.

According to Dr. Emmanuel Bujold and Dr. Roberto Romero, leaders in obstetrics and gynecology, current closure practices—where sutures join the uterine lining with surrounding muscle—fail to restore the uterus’s natural structure, leading to serious complications.

Their exhaustive review reveals the risks: abnormal placenta attachment affects up to 6% of women, uterine rupture up to 3%, and premature births up to 28%. Many suffer pelvic pain (up to 35%), excessive bleeding (up to 33%), and endometriosis or adenomyosis (up to 43%). Such complications are linked directly to the scarring produced by the conventional closure method.

Bujold and Romero propose a nuanced technique: suturing tissues only of the same type, carefully reconstructing the muscle layer while leaving the uterine lining untouched for natural regeneration. Although this new method takes 5–8 minutes—twice as long as the traditional approach—the additional blood loss is minimal and outweighed by better outcomes for future reproductive health.

With cesarean rates rising globally, especially in countries like Canada where 27% of births are by C-section, prioritizing meticulous uterine repair is a critical public health concern. This shift in surgical thinking may help millions experience safer subsequent pregnancies and better long-term well-being.
