Have you heard about the WakeMed Supportive Birth Services program?It truly aligns with the needs of expecting parents who have a history or life trauma or birth trauma. Providing an opportunity for them to connect with a Labor and Delivery nurse beforehand is a remarkable way to address their concerns and help them feel heard and supported during such a pivotal moment in their lives.
The collaborative approach between nurses in Labor and Delivery, Lactation, and Postpartum care undoubtedly contributes to a more positive birthing experience. It’s unique programs like these that make a significant difference in the mental and emotional well-being of families as they embark on their journey into parenthood. I am proud to be a part of such an amazing program!! ❤️.

There is nothing I love more than being a mother but it has been the hardest thing I have ever done in my life and believe me I have been through some dark times. I was like most women when they are pregnant; excited, eager to plan for all the sweet baby things and an overnight expert on all things related to parenting. The birth of our son wasn’t like I had “planned” and although I really liked that little guy I was secretly unsure what was wrong with me because I didn’t feel that overwhelming , hearts and flowers with unicorns jumping rainbows ,LOVE, I was “supposed” to feel.
That uncertainty led to shame and that shame festered for nearly nine months when it reared it’s ugly head in the form of depression and anxiety. I’m rather open about it now but at the time there was no way in hell this educated, supported and loved women was going to let anyone know how hard becoming a mother had actually been for me. This overly happy, bright eyed ,smile in this cartoonishly filtered picture isn’t really all that exaggerated.
Yes, being a mother is a blessing. Yes, being a mother is important. Yes, being a mother is wonderful, fulfilling and joyful but…
it is also hard
and scary
and challenging.
I want all the new and first time moms out there, who are wearing their over zealous filtered smiles to know it is ok to admit it’s hard.
It’s ok to admit it isn’t what you had dreamed or expected it would be. It’s ok to ask for help!
You are NOT alone and there are many people like me who are here to help you, to guide you and support you in your transition into and through motherhood. 💗 🤟🏻
