🩺✨ A Day in the Life of a Maternal Health NP
Today reminded me why I love this work. 💛
Started my morning with two postpartum visits—full mom + baby checks, including postpartum assessments, newborn exams, CCHD screening, and lactation support. Supporting moms in the fourth trimester never gets old.
Then headed to Spelman College for a powerful maternal health event. Our panel of experts talked with students about integrative + alternative maternal health and how they can be part of the change in Black maternal wellness.
Ended the day with a childbirth education session filled with breathing techniques, figure-8s, ball work, step exercises, and curb walking—helping my client prep her body and mind for labor.
And through it all, I’m reminded that as an NP I get to give BOTH holistic care and evidence-based western care.
Truly the best of both worlds. 🤍
