Hiba Siddiqui: The Truth About Postpartum Recovery
Why are women expected to prepare for birth, but not for what comes after?
In this episode of Do Not Disturb, I sit down with Hiba Siddiqui, founder of The Tenth Wellness, to discuss postpartum recovery, maternal health, motherhood, and the realities of healing after having a baby.
We explore the physical, emotional, and identity shifts that many women experience after birth, why postpartum care remains overlooked, and what mothers actually need during the fourth trimester and beyond.
This is a conversation about recovery, support, expectations, and giving women permission to prioritise their own wellbeing.
In this episode, we discuss:
• What postpartum recovery really looks like
• Why so many mothers feel unsupported after birth
• The physical and emotional impact of the fourth trimester
• Pelvic floor health, healing, and recovery
• Identity shifts after becoming a mother
• Why maternal care needs to change
• Asking for help and accepting support
• Building a healthier motherhood experience
Whether you're expecting a baby, navigating postpartum, supporting a new mother, or simply interested in women's health, this episode offers an honest and refreshing perspective on one of the most important and overlooked periods in a woman's life.
