Starting point for a three part series examining the physiological flux of pregnancy and postpartum as it relates to stress (broken up in order to prevent brain leakage)
Hi Molly! This is such a great point you make, and seriously under-studied and under-acknowledged when it comes to women's health: "Perimenopause/menopause is another critical inflection point for women’s health in the reproductive lifespan. This point is even less researched and less supported medically and culturally. I have a theory on this — when it is just a woman’s body, a cycling body, that is changing, it does not register with the same level of importance as when there is a sweet, innocent baby to swoop in and rescue."
