”The weeks following birth lay the foundation for long-term health & well-being.”
“I believe the reason I got postpartum depression with my second child is because I didn’t take the postpartum period seriously enough, and I tried to do too much too soon. Once I dug myself in a hole in terms of fatigue, exhaustion, and trying to recover, it was tough to come out of it, until I took medication to manage PPD. Looking back, I wish I would have done things differently.” - Mom of two
“Even as a pediatrician, I underestimated that I should have done more planning for the postpartum period in advance. I thought I knew what to expect, but it meant I was trying to reach out for support in the middle of the night, exhausted and in tears.” - Mom of one
“Planning in advance for the postpartum period really helped set us up for a smoother transition to parenthood. We are so thankful we took the time to be proactive where we could be.” - Parents to two
