Perinatal Mood Disorders such as Perinatal and/or Postpartum Depression affect more than just the birthing person themselves.
PPD can affect:
↪ Relationships between parents
↪ Relationships between older/younger children
↪ Development of bonding between parent and infant
↪ High cortisol levels in infants due to chronic parental stress
↪ & More

New parents and expanding families need support, compassionate care, and spaces free of judgement. We can all play a part in reducing the occurrence of PPD and other Perinatal Mood Disorders! Check in on your postpartum friends, ask open ended questions, and support them in their journey.

If you're not familiar already, a doula is a guide who provides several styles of support to birthing people and perinatal populations during their journey. These pillars of support may vary in phrasing but typically include educational, physical, advocacy, and emotional support!

Emotional support during the perinatal period is not only nice to have, but greatly impacts the occurrence of perinatal mood disorders such as Postpartum Depression or Anxiety. Having support from someone who knows the in's and out's can relieve many of your worries, and give you a safe and compassionate place to lay down your fears.

Don't believe me? Check the stats! For more information about doula / birth support and where to locate it, feel free to comment below or send me a message!

In the age of comparison, it is easy to feel behind or like we aren't where we expected to be at this time, age, or place.

Keep in mind, this is your first rodeo! We are all learning every day, both about the world and ourselves. Show yourself grace and compassion.

Why do we feel so relieved (and tired, who can relate?) after a good therapy session?

There's actually a biological reason! Story telling and sharing our lived experiences in therapy releases neurochemicals that serve a wide variety of purposes. While most of these hormones feel good to release such as Oxytocin (the love hormone) - we also have Cortisol being released when we talk about high stress or emotional experiences.

Research actually shows that storytelling activates several areas of the brain linked to empathy, emotional regulation, and self-reflection. Go ahead and book that appointment!

Wondering what to get for an expecting family this holiday season?

Give the gift of support! Whether it be doula services, a chestfeeding or newborn class, or setting up a meal train for nutritious meals after baby arrives - the special family in your life will feel so grateful you gifted a long lasting experience.

It’s not my responsibility to tell you what’s right, wrong, or best for your family. It is however, my responsibility to ensure you have a firm understanding of your options, support available, and feel both comfortable and confident enough to pursue all of your goals whether as a parent or an individual. Our time together is utilized to uncover what lingering doubts or anxieties are limiting your opportunities and restricting your capabilities as a parent.

There's a wealth of information surrounding pregnancy hormones.. but what about hormones (specifically HRT) IN pregnancy?

HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is commonly used in Transgender and Gender Diverse folx, and many believe that the use of Testosterone for example will cause infertility. This is NOT true! While testosterone therapy has been shown to alter the composition of the ovaries, resulting in lesser likelihood of pregnancy, this does not mean it is impossible or that contraceptives are not necessary.

Additionally, it's important to note that even if no periods occur while on Testosterone therapy - pregnancy is still very possible. Even without the typical symptoms, ovulation may still take place irregularly.

So... now what?
First and foremost, always contact your prescriber for any health condition changes such as pregnancy. They will have you pause hormone therapy, as it is considered teratogenic (may cause birth defects) to a developing fetus. The timeline for re-introducing HRT will vary family to family, and include factors like healing and whether or not the parent will be chestfeeding.

ACOG reaffirms the safety and benefits of acetaminophen use during pregnancy.
More than two decades of research have found no causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children. Acetaminophen continues to be an important and safe option for managing pain and fever in pregnancy—conditions that can pose serious risks to pregnant patients and their fetuses if left untreated.

“I went to a therapist.. and I told her how horrible I was.. how angry I was.. and she told me,

“You’re not angry. You’re scared”.”
— Laura Mazza, Ambassador of COPE

Symptoms include:
💢 Intense anger and irritability
💢 Frequent shouting or cursing
💢 Aggressive thoughts or behavior
💢 Mood swings
💢 Sleep disturbances
& even paranoia or anxiety

Yes, postpartum rage is real. No, it does not mean that there’s a better parent out there for your baby than you.

Good morning 🌞

Repeat after me:

I do not need to earn rest.

I do not need to be productive enough, or work hard enough for rest.

I deserve to rest until I am ready to produce work that is meaningful to me.

I am more than what I produce.

If you wouldn’t say it about someone else, don’t say it to yourself either! At the end of the day you’re a person just like everyone else who deserves to be treated with respect.

If you wouldn’t say “Sam looks so big in those jeans”, don’t say “I look so big in these jeans” either! When a thought pops up, personify yourself by using your name instead of ‘I’ to remind yourself that you’re just a person doing their best 🦋

Guess who should feel guilty about not loving every moment of pregnancy? 🦗🦗🦗 Nobody!

Navigating nausea, bodily changes, shifts in home life, etc can be overwhelming and missing what used to be your normal does not mean you’re a bad parent or don’t love your baby.

As multifaceted human beings, two very different experiences and feelings can coexist. You can grieve your precious life, and still look forward to your new journey as a family. Be patient with yourself during this and every season!
