This was one of the most transformative nights of my life, and walking through it again with these ladies was so sweet. To be honest, the reason I felt compelled to share something so personal is because I have this burning desire to highlight the value of midwifery care, and showcase the incredible wisdom that these women bring to the birth space and beyond. Particularly in the postpartum period, so many women are left without support and together we need to change that. With a culture that doesn’t nurture new mamas in the way it should and a healthcare system that doesn’t value the need for PP care, it is time to create a shift. As we normalize talking about birth and fight for women to be given paid maternity leave, we must also discuss the factors that can contribute to postpartum depression like the lack of support we are given. These women here today understand this gap in a way most do not. @lamidwifeabby feels this deeply, and in fact she shares that it is one of the key pillars in her midwifery care. When I think back at my birth, I cannot help but feel an almost indescribable love for the care I was given. They quite literally held me up when my body needed support, and have held me in every moment of uncertainty since. My goodness, birth is just so damn beautiful, and I am eternally grateful for the incredible birth workers out there who hold the hands and hearts of women as they bring their babies into the world. Abby you are such a gift. And @birthwhisperer , you are magic. Part one is out today, with part two airing next week as we dive into the very long lead up, what mantras I used to get me through the other side, and the love I have for this sisterhood.
