The mental health impact that this takes is huge. In full transparency, I needed a reason to keep being here. At the time, I did not know anybody that had had a stillbirth. [A] lot of my friends and family had sent me little self-care items because that's very much who I am. I found that using one or two items each day literally allowed me to feel something, when I felt so numb.

When you think of mental health, it's the cumulative experiences that build up over time, that devalue your body, your mind, and your needs. And it is reinforced by systems and individuals that perpetuate a belief that your needs do not matter as much. The vision of what it means to birth with joy, and to access care — where health equity is an actual standard of care – is not our current reality. “ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa0227faf2096313c592ba0/652092ac-aae4-476d-8487-5e2674faab76/Amplifying+Logos.2024-03.png Amplifying - Black History Month 2024: Dr. Jallicia Jolly - Make it stand out This blog is made possible by a sponsorship from Sage Therapeutics, Inc. and Biogen Inc.

It felt like this giant gap of all of this support and help in the hospital, and then, bam, they’re sending you down the elevator with your car seat, and you go home and nobody’s there!

Far too often, your requests aren't heard, and you're treated like you don't know what you're talking about.

I also find that by nature of the process, Queer people really have to ask themselves questions about what makes a family, and the many ways to build a family. And I think this leaves space for respecting diverse kinship bonds, and really encourages community-building. There's been a lot of progress in the postpartum world about building your village, but one of the strengths of the Queer community is community-building.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa0227faf2096313c592ba0/13dbe8af-0a27-4e13-88e6-1000061b6d43/logo-sagerx.jpg Amplifying - Pride Month 2023: Hannah Slavitt - Make it stand out This blog is made possible by a sponsorship from Sage Therapeutics.
