Not as common of a term as lost partum depression, but in no way any smaller of a battle. We’re finding a big increase in new parents experiencing this, and it’s completely understood. A pandemic pregnancy is not the pregnancy anyone dreams of or desires. Now baby is born, you’re doing your best to keep the small human alive and well, and all of the normal support groups and drop ins are gone.
It’s not fair.
You remember when your best friend had her baby and how she bragged about the other awesome moms she met a weekly drop in group.
It’s not what you deserve. You just gave birth, and during a damn pandemic to boot. You never knew what to expect things were constantly changing and through it all you kept going.
There have been some changes in the way we offer support at this time in an effort to keep our team, families, and clients safe. Our hearts and ears are still open. Virtual coffee dates are always complimentary.
