In today's 15 minute shortie episode I talk about the Postpartum Justice Summit 2019 that I attended last week in SF where lots of discussions were had surrounding postpartum care, black maternal health and the inequity that is seen for WOC receiving any type of healthcare and most specifically pregnancy and postpartum care. My interest lies in postpartum care and I delve into the topic of why postpartum care is self care. In many cases, it does not look like that for a majority of women in the US. The answer seems to lie in one thing that is lacking for many people due to the rise of nuclear families in the last few decades. Ultimately, when we care for all the new mamas out there then better care can be given to their babies. Let's take better care of all new moms, they all deserve postpartum care that is nourishing, filled with community and will allow them to thrive.
