Share how your husband/partner supported you postpartum or something you wish they would have done to better support you. Lack of support postpartum is a risk factor for developing PMADs (Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders) Talk with your tribe on how they can best support you during the 4th trimester. If support doesn’t feel so close to home consider a postpartum doula to help nurture you during this sacred time.

All the eggs a woman will ever carry are formed in her ovaries while she is a four month old fetus in the womb of her mother. This means our cellular life begins in the womb of our grandmother. Each of us spent 5 months in the womb of our grandmother and she in turn formed in the womb of her grandmother. We vibrate to the rhythm of our mothers blood before she herself is born and this pulse is the thread of blood that runs all the way back through the grandmothers to the first mother. ~Layne Redmond, When The Drummers Were Women

Todays my birthday and the end of mental health awareness month. To honor moms in need of extra support I’m doing a walk at the end of June called The Climb and would love you to donate to a great cause. Together we can support one another. There may not be a red tent anymore but we are still a community.

“A 2003 study found that keeping a daily gratitude journal leads to better sleep, reductions of physical pain, a greater sense of well-being, and a better ability to handle change.” The Five Minute Journal is something I do daily and even have my kids participate in.

Thoughts on motherhood. Giving birth. Emphasis on giving. You really give so much of yourself to give birth but what has the experience given to me besides my beautiful children. It’s given me the mystical experience of touching heaven and earth at the same time. It’s given me the strongest faith to trust in the Lord that in his infinite wisdom he has given my body the blue print to know how nurture life for 9 months, labor and deliver a baby. It also gave me the gift of falling completely in love with myself. After I delivered Carly the first thing I said was “I f$&king did it, I f$&king did it”. Giving gratitude and acknowledgement to myself for the mental and physical strength it took to get me through that experience. On this day I pause to give gratitude and acknowledgement that I did it and I am continuing to do it.
