Ready for the day that it doesn’t shock people that we’re not ok with being dismissed or ignored after baby’s arrival. 🙄
I will never get over the postpartum visits I had after giving birth to each of my sons in Oregon. Finding a provider who cares, and truly listens to you is much more important than I knew. (Read The Birth Book by Jennifer Lincoln, MD, IBCLC for a great list of questions to ask!)
One doctor only cared about prescribing me birth control. I was so disappointed with my care.
For my next pregnancy, I found a provider I LOVED because I wanted to be treated like a person, not a number.
My provider was so sweet and caring, and sadly unable to deliver my baby because all surrounding hospitals wouldn’t take patients having babies that afternoon, so we had to drive much further to a hospital she couldn’t deliver at (a story for another day).
We are not numbers in a system. We grow life within us! That’s a huge deal!! Our well-being doesn’t just matter during pregnancy. It matters in the 4th trimester too.
We hope you’ll join us on our mission to be the village that every family deserves. 🩷🙌
