New parents deserve support. Postpartum is a time when folks need their community. We can all help, sometimes just in little ways. This past week, The Mom Network pulled off quite a beautiful trifecta of support.
Think of the work of putting together your birth preferences as more of a thought exercise of learning about what is most important to you and your partner. Of course a healthy mother and a healthy baby are first on everyone’s priorities. But what else?
This was an Empowered Birth. They were able to make the best decisions they could for their family, with the circumstances that presented themselves. This birth, even with it’s unexpected turn, was a chance to heal.
Taking childbirth classes is often low on the priority list and may even get bumped off in light of more demanding items. I would like to suggest that you move this line item up to the top.
Parents, try asking your partner how they know you love them? What is that you say or do that shows love to your partner? What are you looking for from your partner that shows love?
