Have you heard of the baby blues? Approximately 80% of new parents will experience baby blues.

A few things to note about the baby blues:
🔷 Occurs within a few hours to 2 weeks after childbirth.
🔷Short-term dips in mood caused by the changes of having a new baby.
🔷Symptoms include irritability, fatigue, sadness, & mood swings.
🔷After 2 weeks post-delivery these symptoms typically dissipate without treatment.
🔷The baby blues is not another term for the postpartum depression

If you think you are experiencing a perinatal mental health disorder or just don't feel like yourself and need support:
📲 Call or text the Postpartum Support International Helpline at 800-944-4773. You never need a diagnosis to ask for help.
💻 Visit postpartum.net for additional resources and programs

What is postpartum depression?

Postpartum depression is a major depressive disorder and typically occur within 1 month to 1 year after the birth of a child (Kleinman, 2017).
Did you know that many women have sought help for their postpartum depression from therapists and have reported that they just don't feel understood? One of my client even shared with me that a therapist said, "Oh, PPD? You don't have that. PPD is assigned when you want to kill your baby. You don't want to kill your baby."

There is so much misinformation out there about PPD/PPA. To me, this is a shame given the significant impact postpartum depression has on a woman's life and mental health. I have spent numerous hours training and researching to become the best postpartum recovery coach because women with this disorder are slipping through the cracks.

Missing a postpartum depression diagnosis puts a woman at risk for chronic and recurrent depression. Don't leave your mental health up in the air or in the hands of providers who do not understand you.

What questions do you have about postpartum depression life and recovery?

We all know trust is built and we haven’t exactly been groomed to trust our own bodies in this society. In fact, we’ve been taught much the opposite. To give in to fear and allow opportunity for the white coats to save us. Spoiler Alert: You don’t need saved!

Take note of all the physiological processes you ALREADY trust your body to do like digest food, eliminate waste, pump blood, etc.
You can hold the same trust for your body during your birth.

First make the commitment to hold that space for your body. Then, practice listening to your gut in everyday situations, meditate, do daily body scans, move inward and notice how your body responds to everyday stressors. It helps to educate yourself on what your body is actually doing during the process of birth and the sensations associated with it. Remember, your body was created specifically to birth your baby/babies.

You were made for this, mama! ✨

Hi! Flor here! Creator of and teacher over 🫶🏽

Did you also know that the manufacturing of "emergencies" can start as early as prenatally?

The things you are most afraid of are manufactured by systems that prioritize policy, liability, industrialization, money, schedules, pathology, sickness, medicalization, racism and the erasure of physiological birth.

My co-teacher and and I can help you make sense of alot of it.

It doesn't have to be scary.

It can be logical.

It can make sense.

The last class of the year is starting soon!
