If I can help even one other woman by sharing my story, it will be worth it.

"Though Nagtalon-Ramos, of Rutgers, who says she's concerned that the trial was completed in only 45 days. She points out that some definitions of postpartum cover the entire first year after having a baby...

For the First Time, There’s a Pill for Postpartum Depression

Clinical trial data show the pill works quickly, beginning to ease depression in as little as three days, significantly faster than general antidepressants,— may encourage more patients to accept treatment.

@abbie I HIGHLY recommend home cooked freezer meals. It’s such a treat to have homemade anything without spending time making it. My friend made me chicken stew and stir fry. I had also made myself chili, puttanesca sauce, chicken broccoli rice casserole, and barbacoa. Super worth it. #parenting #postpartum #mealprep #pregnancy #selfcare

🔴 UNE GUERRE AUX MAMANS

Le tabou du #postpartum se fissure. Un entretien est désormais obligatoire pour les jeunes mamans... mais moins de 10% y accèdent !

Accablant : tout est fait pour les empêcher.

🗣️"Il est important que les besoins spécifiques des femmes en matière de soins soient correctement pris en compte. Nous demandons la garantie de la parité de genre parmi les représentants des usagers présents au Conseil Territorial de Santé."

I read The Nursery by Szilvia Molnar in a bit of a brain foggy and sleep deprived state, and honestly that was perfect. I feel like it’s been way too long since I’ve truly enjoyed a #litfic novel, and I loved this. I really enjoy novels about #pregnancy and #postpartum—it’s just such a fascinating time in a person’s life—and this novel is everything I want in a postpartum/pregnancy novel. Molnar’s prose is also lovely—so delightful to read. #Bookstodon
