I was thrilled to have this important conversation with Krista today. Krista is a blogger and content creator of mindcaremomma on instagram. Krista provides essential resources for people during pregnancy and postpartum. We discuss finding the balance within motherhood and asking for help from our partners. We both agree that there is a lack of support and awareness in the medical community and policy for people dealing with postpartum anxieties and traumas. We acknowledged that there is a focus on the new born and lacking for the mother. Krista has created a postpartum check list with the acronym M.E.D.S. to aid new mothers prior to beginning their postpartum journey. I understand this was a large topic to cover in the time we had. Krista has provided a number of extremely useful resources to share.
