In this fairly informal style video I answer a bunch of question that were submitted on my instagram related to postpartum preparation, labor & delivery. ((I have broken each question down by minute marker below!)) I cover things like .. caring for your precious parts after birth, products that can make your postpartum life easier, and some advice related to your postpartum mental health.

Soooo if you're watching & thinking to yourself... "Hmm Jess seems a little off during this video." You are not wrong. I needed a shower and my body was starting to freak out a little bit. :) All is okay though. I will update viewers soon.
