Post Partum Care That Centers You, Not Just the Baby
Giving birth changes everything, your body, your brain, your identity, your relationships. And yet, somehow, the postpartum period often gets pushed to the sidelines. At the Feminist Center for Reproductive Liberation, we see it differently.
Post partum isn’t an afterthought. It’s a critical window of healing, recalibration, and redefinition. Whether you’re weeks or even months out from birth, you deserve support that’s medically sound and emotionally honest.
We offer in-clinic visits at our Atlanta, GA location and telehealth appointments for anyone who prefers care from home, including those serving clients from Scottdale, GA and families traveling in from farther out.
The “Fourth Trimester” Is Just the Beginning
Let’s be real, healing doesn’t magically end at six weeks.
Maybe your provider gave you the green light for sex and jogging, but you still can’t sneeze without leaking. Or maybe the sleep deprivation, hormonal crash, and identity shift feel like they’ve swallowed you whole.
It’s not just you. And you’re not “doing it wrong.”
Post partum recovery is more than checking a few boxes. It’s a deeply individual, sometimes messy, often nonlinear process. That’s why our care looks different.
So What Do We Actually Do for Post Partum? Glad You Asked.
Our care is tailored, trauma-informed, and patient-led. You can come in at 2 weeks post partum, or 6 months, or even longer. There’s no expiration date on needing support.
Here’s what we might focus on (based on what you bring up):
- Pelvic floor assessments (because peeing when you laugh isn’t “just normal”)
- Mental health screenings and therapy referrals
- Breastfeeding or chestfeeding support (and help if you’ve stopped too)
- Support with birth recovery, C-section scars, vaginal tears, you name it
- Sleep and nutrition planning that doesn’t rely on martyrdom
- Hormonal rebalancing
- Contraception counseling that respects your timeline
We take our cues from you, not some outdated checklist.
Can’t Make It In? Telehealth Has Your Back
Got a newborn cluster-feeding every hour? Still bleeding heavily? Emotionally tapped out from the logistics of leaving the house?
We get it.
Telehealth appointments offer a lifeline when getting to a clinic feels impossible. You’ll still speak with someone who gets it, who can walk you through what’s happening with your body, your mood, your relationships, and help you feel more like yourself again, without brushing off what you’re carrying.
This Isn’t Just OB Follow-up. It’s a Different Kind of Care
The truth? Post partum care in the U.S. is broken. Many folks get a single 6-week check-up and then… silence. That’s not enough.
Our feminist approach to post partum care doesn’t center pathology or blame, it centers you:
- Your body isn’t a machine. It’s a landscape in recovery.
- We listen before we diagnose.
- We believe rest, joy, and partnership are part of the treatment plan.
- We don’t assume you’re partnered, straight, cis, or even planning on having more children.
- You’re not “overreacting” or “too sensitive.”
Basically? We treat post partum like the life-altering, body-altering experience it is.
Not in Atlanta? You’re Still In Our Care Network
While our physical clinic is in Atlanta, GA, we care for folks serving clients from Scottdale, GA and across the region. People travel to see us because they’re looking for care that respects the magnitude of this life shift.
And for those who can’t travel, telehealth bridges the gap. You don’t need to live nearby to feel fully supported.
Your First Post Partum Visit: Expect More Than Just “You’re Healing Fine”
We’re not here to rubber-stamp recovery.
In your first post partum visit, we’ll talk about how you’re feeling physically and emotionally. What’s working? What’s hard? What support do you wish you had? You can bring your baby, or come solo. We’re here for you, not just the infant you birthed.
And if you don’t even know what you need yet? That’s okay too. We’ll figure it out together.
Healing Looks Different on Everyone
Some people bounce back physically, but emotionally they’re underwater. Others feel mentally okay but are still limping from delivery complications. Some are coping with post partum depression or anxiety. Some are grieving a birth that didn’t go the way they’d hoped. Some are just… lost in the swirl.
Whatever your post partum looks like, you’re not too late, too broken, or too needy.
This is care that adapts to your body’s timeline, not the other way around.
