Pink Flamingo Podcast

🦩This is a postpartum podcast that tells the stories of parents in the days, months and years following the birth of their children. 🦩Why pink flamingos? Well ..flamingos lose their pink colour when raising babies because of the intensity of parenting. Eventually, as their chicks grow up, their pink starts to return. 🦩For some of us, like flamingos, we lose our pink, and those stories describe the hardship of the postpartum period and the ways they rediscover their pink. For others, parenthood only makes their lives pinker, and we will hear from them too. 🦩While flamingos flush pink again following the early newborn phase, for us humans it can take a LOT longer. We are told "postpartum" is a time that finishes either 6 weeks or 3 months after the birth of our babies but this is bonkers. There is a growing focus on the 4th trimester (first 3 months postpartum), which is incredibly important and I'm so happy to see it....BUT what about the trimesters after that? Where is the support or awareness of this time? Stories on this podcast will speak beyond the 4th trimester and perhaps even question whether we ever are truly postpartum? 🦩This is a place to learn about postpartum for the curious, find tips and tricks to navigate those years or to hopefully find solace, sympathy and solidarity. This is a podcast that celebrates every shade of pink that parenthood brings.
