It’s true. They grow up so fast.
With more than 50 TriHealth pediatric physicians in 13 office locations throughout Greater Cincinnati, it’s easy to find a physician to care for your child from infancy to adolescence. Our physicians will help you set your child on a path to reach their fullest potential by caring for their physical, mental and emotional well-being through every stage of life.
SOME CALL IT THE 90-DAY HAZE—THOSE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF BROKEN SLEEP,
frantic googling, and trying to figure out why your clothes always smell like spit up. As your newborn transitions into an infant and you begin to emerge from the haze, you’ll start getting back into your rhythms. Sure, life won’t be exactly like it was before (after all, you have a kid now!), but a new normal will evolve. You’ll go on date nights again. You’ll go to the gym again. You’ll wear skinny jeans again. You can do this, mama. Those first few months with a baby are rough, but they don’t last forever. Here’s your go-to guide for feeling like yourself again.

E A S I N G B AC K I N TO EXERCISE When you’re ready to hit the gym after having your baby, take it slow and steady. —MEGAN
S Q U AT S A N D P U S H - U P S
paired with dirty diapers, latenight feedings, and limited sleep? Even if you’re the fitness guru who swore a speedy comeback, chances are throwing on spandex and hitting up a Zumba class will not be the first thing on your mind after giving birth. But once you’ve established your new “normal,” you may find yourself itching for some feel-good exercise endorphins. All women should take advantage of the postpartum period to bond with their baby and recover from birth. And easing back into exercise will look different for each woman and largely depend on your prior level of fitness and type of delivery.
MOM HACK #1
Keep forgetting those all-important kegel exercises? Do a few reps every time you feed your baby. You’re already seated, so you might as well be squeezing!

That said, there are some general rules for returning to exercise. First, take it easy the first six to eight weeks, and wait until bleeding has stopped: If activity increases bleeding or causes dizziness, you’ve most likely over-strained yourself. Begin with exercises that focus on strengthening pelvic floor (i.e., kegels and pelvic tilts); stretches for your neck and back, which may be tight from holding baby or breastfeeding; and walking. If you are experiencing urinary incontinence or pain and weakness in the pelvis or back, consider scheduling an appointment with a local physical therapist who specializes in women’s health before returning to exercising. Lastly, avoid running, jumping, and high-intensity exercises until you’ve established a good foundation. Above all, respect the fact you just participated in the Marathon of Birth; it took nine months to grow a human, so allow yourself an adequate amount of time to return to your previous level of fitness.
CROWN JEWELS 1. Salmon: Bursting with DHA that aids in the growth of your baby’s nervous system, a few servings per week may also improve your mood, fending off postpartum depression.
5. Cultured foods: Real yogurt, sauerkraut, miso, kimchi, kefir, and pickled vegetables provide healthy bacteria that can benefit digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and mood.
2. Oatmeal: Aside from lowering cholesterol and maintaining healthy blood pressure, oatmeal will keep you feeling full and is recommended to boost milk supply.
PROCEED WITH CAUTION 1. Sugar: Foods high in protein and fat will keep you feeling full and energized, while sugar does the exact opposite. In addition to roller-coaster energy levels, a diet high in sugar inhibits weight loss and can disrupt precious sleep.
3. Spinach: A good source of calcium, iron, Vitamins K, A, and folate. This super food is fantastic for everyone, but especially breastfeeding moms. 4. Bone broth: It’s packed full of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, which are vital for recovery, as well as collagen, elastin, gelatin, and hyaluronic acid to help strengthen your joints.
2. Caffeine: While you don’t need to eliminate it entirely, more than two or three cups of coffee may over-stimulate breastfed babies. 3. Alcohol: Even if you “pump and dump,” alcohol can lead to bloating and poor sleep, and can negatively affect your already unpredictable emotions.

As a newfound citizen in the Land of Motherhood, there are a few rules you must recognize to ensure survival. You are now subject to a small prince or princess who will dictate your every move, and nutrition is king. While the first is unfortunately out of your control, the latter should be used to your advantage. — M . M .
BABY BLUES OR SOMETHING BIGGER?
POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION
Weepy, sad, irritable, anxious, overwhelmed
Continuous crying, intense anxiety, unable to function normally, difficulty enjoying your baby at all
Up to three weeks after delivery
Can onset several months after delivery, and symptoms persist longer than three weeks after delivery
POSTPARTUM PSYCHOSIS
Thoughts/ attempts to harm yourself or your baby, hallucinations, paranoia, disorientation
Often within one week of delivery
I S T H I S N O R M A L? Pelvic health physical therapist Stacey Hendricks answers your most uncomfortable questions about “down there” for the weeks following delivery. Will I ever stop peeing myself when I sneeze? After having a baby, some urine leakage is common. However, just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s something you should just put up with. Fortunately, it’s something that is treatable conservatively by doing pelvic floor exercises to retrain those muscles. My personal opinion is that if you still have leakage by your six-week follow-up appointment, you should have that assessed. I’m having a hard time controlling bowel movements. Is that normal? That is absolutely not normal and much less common than having urine leakage. See a provider, because the prognosis for that improving is pretty poor if left untreated.
WHAT TO DO:
What kind of provider should I seek for urinary or fecal incontinence? The first place to start is with your OB or primary care doctor. Physical therapy is the best first-line treatment for either urinary or fecal incontinence, and in the state of Ohio you actually don’t even need a physician referral to go to physical therapy.
Share what you’re experiencing with a spouse, friend, or medical provider. True baby blues lift on their own in less than three weeks after delivery.*
Contact your doctor. She may refer you to a mental health professional or recommend medication.
Call 911 and notify a loved one immediately.
HOW COMMON IS THIS?
WHEN IT OCCURS:
WHAT YOU’RE FEELING:
BABY BLUES
Up to 80 percent of moms
8–19 percent of moms
Less than .2 percent of moms
*Consult a medical provider at any point if you feel your symptoms might require medical attention.
Is it normal for sex to be uncomfortable after having a baby? It’s very common for women to have painful intercourse after having a baby. One of the major causes is that if a woman is breastfeeding, she will have decreased estrogen and that can make the mucosal tissue in the vagina drier. Women will often describe it as a sandpaper or scratching sensation with intercourse. If you’re having discomfort after the first time you try to have sex, you should follow up with your gynecologist to make sure you don’t have an infection or an incision that hasn’t properly healed. It feels like there’s a bulge in my vagina or that something is going to fall out. What’s going on? Prolapse is when the wall of the vagina or the uterus has dropped into the vaginal space due to increased laxity of the connective tissue. The good news is that for women with less severe grades of prolapse, quite often they can improve the symptoms by doing pelvic floor muscle and core retraining. If they do not respond significantly enough to the pelvic floor retraining, there are surgical options. C I N C I N N AT I B A B YA N D B E Y O N D E X P O . C O M 1 3
T H E F I R S T DAY B AC K TO WO R K These wise mamas tell us what that first day back was really like: the good, the bad, and the not-as-bad-as-I-thought-it-would-be.
“It was hard walking out the door knowing I had to go eight hours without my baby, but once I got settled in and put a thousand photos of him up at my desk to stare at—no joke—it felt nice to be social and have another identity other than Mommy.” — H O L LY, ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE
“I provided myself with space to feel whatever I needed to feel in that moment. Those feelings ranged from ‘missing him until it hurt’ to ‘being ecstatic to use my professional brain again.’” — K R I S TA , M E D I C A L SOCIAL WORKER
“I chose to focus on all the reasons going back to work was a positive change—it helped my postpartum depression finally lift, it provided the social time with other adults I missed during leave, and even the fact that it gave me a reason to wear makeup again!” — M A R C I , AT T O R N E Y
“The daycare we chose made coming back to work so much easier because they had webcams and I could check in on her literally all throughout the day.” —S H A N N O N , B U S I N E S S DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST
“I was not prepared for the emotional roller-coaster throughout my first day back to work. It started with tears during drop-off—my daughter seemed even littler in someone else’s arms!— followed by a stomachache midday. Each week became easier to manage, especially when we could see how happy our daughter appeared to be with her caregivers.” — K AT I E , P R I N C I P A L C O N S U LTA N T
“It ended up going much smoother than I thought. It was great to have adult conversations again, and I was distracted enough by work that I didn’t miss my girl nearly as much as I thought I would.” — L I Z , C O M M U N I C AT I O N C O N S U LTA N T
PRO TIPS FOR P U M P I N G AT W O R K Keep a second pump at the office. Lugging all those parts back and forth gets old real quick. If buying a second pump isn’t in the budget, ask a friend to borrow one. Figure out where you’re going to pump before going on maternity leave. Employers of hourly workers are required by law to provide a private, non-restroom pumping space. But even if you’re salaried, it’s well within your rights to ask for a private pumping space and access to a refrigerator. Bring an open-front sweater or sweatshirt. You’d be surprised how chilly the office can be when you’re, um, exposed. Invest in a pumping bra. The convenience of being hands-free cannot be overstated. Bring proper cleaning supplies. The Food & Drug Administration recently released new standards for cleaning pump parts. Yes, you must really clean every part with soap and hot water after every pumping session. Air-drying is recommended.
Make a first-day checklist. Pump, parts, bottles, lids, soap, cleaning brush, towel or paper towels, cooler, ice packs, nursing pads, and open-front sweater/sweatshirt.
MOM HACK #2

If you’re prone to forgetting your pumped milk at the office, put your car keys in the cooler with your milk. You won’t get far without that milk.

“Maternity photography has so much potential to be the most incredible and artistic images you ever create—but I don’t think all women know that. This is the most unique journey in your life. Whether this is your first child or your seventh, every single pregnancy deserves to be celebrated. My clients and I work together to create images that have their story woven into them. We put thought into each gown, each location, and each pose to ensure my clients feel their best and are safe the entire time. Together we are redefining the maternity photography experience.” —Bethany Ellen, owner, Elephoto Photography
