Back in the day, women (and even younger girls) used to attend each other’s births and openly learn about pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum from their friends and family. Nowadays, it’s easy to find pictures on social media of women experiencing a spotless and glowing maternity experience from pregnancy and beyond that don’t prepare you for anything that’s really to come. On the other hand, it’s also easy to find medical websites and stories that are brutally honest about the horrors other women might have experienced. Although honest, these graphic stories can also deter many women from doing any further research on labor, delivery, and postpartum care in order to keep their anxiety at bay.
Sadly, this has resulted in countless women suffering from treatable pregnancy pains and post-partum complications simply because they didn’t know there was help to be had or who to ask.
Our goal is to fuel open conversations about solutions to common problems women encounter. The first step is overcoming the “I don’t know what I don’t know” hurdle. If you feel like that’s you, download our free e-book to build a solid foundation of knowledge to prepare you for your pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum journey.
