Episode 007: Postpartum Support in Australia: Why Postnatal Care Matters with Anna Harreveld
Are mums in Australia getting the postpartum support they actually need? Or are they being left to navigate early motherhood alone?
In this episode of Thriving Mummas, the podcast for conscious mums who want to raise their kids without losing themselves, I’m joined by Anna Harreveld, founder of Queensland Cradle Care, to unpack what real postnatal care in Australia can look like.
We explore:
- Why so many new mums feel unseen and unsupported after birth
- How professional postpartum support eases the mental load and prevents burnout
- The difference between help that helps… and help that adds to your stress
- What new mums really need in the fourth trimester (even on a tight budget)
- Why caring for mothers is just as important as caring for babies
Whether you’re preparing for birth, recovering from it, or supporting someone else, you’ll walk away with real insight into how to lighten the load.
Because sometimes, the best gift for a new mum isn’t another onesie. It’s support she doesn’t have to ask for.
