The 3 Things Every New Mom Needs Postpartum (And None of Them Are on a Registry)
When you're preparing for a baby, it's easy to focus on the tangible things: the stroller, the bassinet, the swaddles, and the baby monitor.
But what if the things you need most postpartum can't be purchased from a registry?
In today's episode, we're talking about the three essentials every new mom needs after birth—needs that are often overlooked but have a massive impact on your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure of who you are now that you're a mom, this episode is for you.
Inside this episode, you'll learn:
Why postpartum preparation needs to go beyond baby gear
The emotional support every new mom deserves
How practical help can protect your mental health
Why staying connected to God matters more than perfection during this season
Simple ways to prepare for your own needs before baby arrives
Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or supporting a mom in this season, this conversation will help you rethink what it really means to be prepared for life after birth.

When you hear “pelvic floor therapy,” you might immediately think of Kegels. But pelvic floor physical therapy is about so much more than strengthening one group of muscles.
In this episode of A Bridge to Motherhood Podcast, I’m talking with Dr. Abby Andres, a physical therapist who specializes in obstetric and pelvic floor care, about what moms really need to know about pelvic health before, during, and after pregnancy.
Dr. Abby brings a trauma-informed approach to her work, recognizing that pelvic health can be deeply personal and that past experiences, birth trauma, pain, and even shame can affect how a woman experiences treatment. We talk about how to know when a symptom is something worth getting help for, what pelvic floor therapy can actually address, and what postpartum recovery should look like in those early weeks.
