When we think about preparing for a new baby, most of the attention goes to work and child, but what about what happens after the birth?
Too often parents with a newborn and very little support for their physical recovery, mental health and emotional well -being are sent home. And if things feel overwhelming, scary or not as you expected, ask yourself whether something is wrong with them. But I want new mothers to know is: nothing is wrong with them. However, something is missing as we families prepare for postpartum, and it is time that we talked about it.

Postpartum does not have to be something that they only survive. With the right planning, the right tools and the right support, it can be a season of healing, binding and growth. But it starts with the knowledge You Earn support – not just your baby.
Nancy’s insight is such a strong memory that her mental health is important. Your story is important. And how you feel this season. If you are a new or expected parent, I hope that this conversation will help you to see, validate and encouraged to build a post -partial experience that is rooted in real care.
