Brief Reminder


Tomorrow (or, today if you are reading this on Wednesday, October 24th) is the BlogHers Act Blog Day for Mothers Act. I’m really encouraging birth mothers to share their stories about the postpartum time frame, even if they didn’t experience issues regarding postpartum mood disorders, so that expectant mothers considering placement and brand new first mothers might have a reference tool for what to expect, what warning signs to consider and the general reassurance that they are never, ever alone. If you have a moment, please consider sharing your story. It may benefit you to get it off your chest and it could really, really make a difference in a new birth mother’s life. Please join in. (My posts will be up in the morning.)
