Welcome Bailly Mac Millan to Birthing on the Prairies !!!!

We will talk about Pregnancy depression and anxiety. Her pregnancy and birth after a loss that was very close to her & how finding the support and care you need in pregnancy, birth and postpartum is so so important.

“ Depression and anxiety. My beautiful niece was still born when I was 20 weeks pregnant. My son was measuring well, but turned out to be very small and with an anterior placenta, I almost never felt him kick. Fear, anxiety and guilt really took a toll on me. I went on leave two months early. I couldn’t get myself to work. On top of that I have Hypermobility, and a couple autoimmune Diseases which were undiagnosed at the time, so it added up to a pregnancy that was tough physically and mentally. I want another baby someday. But I often wonder if I’m strong enough to go through that again. “ - Bailly

This is going to be a extremely special story. I Can’t wait for you all to hear it .
