Dr. Kat gets on her soapbox! Dishing on a few things that get her upset and maybe get you upset too?!?! We have a long way to go to do better for pregnant, birthing, loss and postpartum moms!
Here are some of the things she touchs on…
*Can we just be supportive to moms? Can we stop with the shaming and guilt? It’s hard enough to be a mom…we need a softer approach on how we treat new parenthood in general.
*I have some thoughts about the pressure to breastfeed…
*My fantasy and utopia of how if we could treat mothers and families well, with the right kind of support that we can lessen the impacts of stress for generations.
*Healthcare providers need to do a better job of supporting perinatal mental health. It’s a cop-out to say that “we can’t screen mothers because we don’t know what to do with them”. My advise…figure it out.
Let me know what you think! What are the topics that get you on your soapbox? Raising our voices to speak to the stigma and disparities for mothers can be productive if it leads to doing something about it! Have those important conversations!
Listen in and share with a mama in need! Let’s support each other into wellness!
