Postpartum Hormonal Crash
TopicHeard in 3 episodes across 2 shows since Jun 2026
The postpartum hormonal crash refers to the sudden and dramatic drop in estrogen and progesterone levels that occurs immediately after childbirth, particularly following the delivery of the placenta. This rapid physiological shift, which also involves changes in thyroid and other endocrine hormones, is a primary biological driver of the 'baby blues' and can contribute to postpartum depression. Symptoms typically manifest as mood swings, fatigue, anxiety, and night sweats as the body transitions back to its non-pregnant state.
