A few weeks after having a baby, a lot of new parents land on the same quiet, scary thought: something feels off, and I don't really recognize myself. Dr. Becky sits down with reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Lucky Sekhon to unpack the hormonal whiplash behind postpartum mood, identity, and bonding, and why so much of what feels like character is actually chemistry. They also cover inter-pregnancy intervals, why breastfeeding isn't reliable birth control, and secondary infertility, the surprising reason getting pregnant a second time can be harder than the first.
