Hailey Bieber on Postpartum Recovery, PMDD, and Hormone Changes After Birth

About this episode

Hailey Bieber discusses her postpartum recovery, health challenges, and experiences with pregnancy and motherhood.

In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Aliabadi sit down with Hailey Bieber to discuss a terrifying health scare at 25. She experienced a TIA (mini-stroke) with classic stroke symptoms, and the chain of testing that led to finding (and closing) a PFO. Hailey also shares how her pregnancy was a surprise. It was complicated by a uterine septum and conversations about miscarriage risk. She explains how her care team monitored her for preterm risk. Hailey discuss induction tools like the Foley balloon, how she handled the epidural, and what it felt like when she couldn’t stop bleeding after delivery. Dr. Aliabadi breaks down postpartum hemorrhage and the Jada device that was used to stop it quickly. They also cover postpartum life, including anxiety, pumping/breastfeeding, PMDD months later, postpartum rehab (including pelvic floor therapy), and Hailey’s approach to balancing motherhood with building her company. Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert insight on women’s heart health, stroke warning signs, and what to know about PFOs, plus real talk on pregnancy risk, labor and delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, PMDD, and recovery after birth.
