Holistic Pregnancy

The 5-5-5 rule — 5 days in bed, 5 days on the bed, 5 days around the bed — is one of the better postpartum recovery frameworks out there. This episode walks through what's physiologically happening in your body and mind during each phase, what's normal, and what's not.
In this episode:
What the 5-5-5 rule is and where it comes from
What's physically happening in each phase — bleeding, healing, hormones, feeding
Normal vs. concerning signs at each stage
Why protecting this time matters more than anything else

What you need for postpartum recovery, baby, and your support person in the first day or two after birth
Paperwork and documents to have ready
What to leave at home (aka things you do not actually need)

Today, we are talking with Liz Kohut, a certified peristeam specialist. Liz stumbled upon Vaginal Steaming following a miscarriage in 2018 after her doctor suggested a D&C and she declined. Liz knew there had to be a more natural and non-invasive option. After she saw the positive effects of regular Vaginal Steaming (also known as peri, womb or yoni steaming), she decided to take the Peristeam Facilitator course offered by The Steamy Chick Institute. Her goal is to bring more awareness to this long-standing practice throughout countries all over the world in order to help educate women through the use of Vaginal Steaming with a focus on uterine health for fertility, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, postpartum as well as navigating every stage of life - maiden, mother, crone!
