About this episode

This episode discusses the effects of pregnancy and postpartum on PMDD symptoms and offers practical advice for managing these changes.

Have you ever wondered what happens to your PMDD if/ when you get pregnant, or after you have baby? Does it just disappear and you're in the clear for the next 9 months or longer, since it's cycle related? In this episode, I talk about the parallels of PMDD with these other hormonally-sensitive seasons, and how symptoms may show up. It not only gives you some understanding as to what's going on in your body in these seasons, but also some practical ways to prepare so you're not caught off guard. I hope this episode is helpful! Lauren -------- Next Steps: The Luteal Prep Guide helps Christian women with PMDD prepare for the hardest phase of their cycle by combining practical physiology with grounded, biblical truth. It walks you through supporting your hormones, body and nervous system while anchoring your mind in Scripture, so you’re not just surviving the luteal phase, but approaching it with wisdom, intention, and faith.

I listen to this playlist a lot, and I pray these Christ-centered songs would be an encouragement and anchor to you when you're in the storm…
