Something I’ve realised over time…

Most of us are incredibly responsible with our careers — but we rarely question how many income streams we rely on.

For years, I didn’t think much about it.

Now I’m much more interested in layering options quietly rather than hoping one role will always be enough.

Not dramatic. Just intentional.

Posted • We often worry a lot about new babies—Are they sleeping enough? Eating well? But what about the mother? Does she get enough sleep and support?

Society tends to focus heavily on the needs and milestones of the baby, sometimes neglecting the physical and emotional health of the mother.

It’s time to care as much for mothers as we do for babies. Mothers need love and support too.

Here’s how we can help:

🥘 Meal Trains
🧹 Tidy and Clean 
🧺 Fold Laundry
👂 Be a Listening Ear
🤱 Lactation Support
🎁 Care Package
🏃‍♀️ Run errands
💤 Enable rest
🙌 Keep showing up

When we help mothers, we’re helping babies too because a happy mother means a happy family. ✨🫶

This is so true and the impact of birth experiences is long lasting - positive and negative.

Posted • Just a quick reminder...

“The way in which a birth unfolds can have such an impact on a woman’s experience, for such a long time.”

Nadine and I wrote this line in “Birthing Your Placenta”, where we talked about the different options in that aspect of the birth journey, but it applies to every aspect of pregnancy and birth.

Posted • .rachel.reed Investing in women’s decisions also results in emotional burnout for care providers. Releasing that attachment is really difficult to do, but very necessary.
You can find more birth-related information on my blog, podcast, YouTube, articles, books, courses and collective at www.rachelreed.website or via the links in my bio.

So true!

“We were never meant to live like this.

Want to know why you’re so tired?

It’s not just because your baby wakes all night. It’s not just because you’re nursing 24/7. It’s not because of your baby’s biological needs.

It’s because we were never meant to live like this. In so much isolation. So alone.

We were meant for a village. We were meant to lay in bed for weeks/months feeding and sleeping on and off with our new baby while our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, cousins, neighbors, and friends helped out.

But there is no mother bringing us food and water. No grandma cooking the meals. No sisters playing with the other children. No cousins folding the laundry. No neighbors taking care of the house, and no friends providing support.

Modern life is in constant conflict with childrearing and our biological needs.

From returning to work at 6 weeks postpartum to little to no support in the postpartum period.

The truth is many of us are just lucky enough to have someone drop a meal off but not lucky enough to have them actually come inside. And it’s not their fault. They don’t have a village either.

There’s never been a mother to bring them food and water.

Never a grandma to cook their meals. Never sisters playing with their other children. Never cousins folding the laundry. Never neighbors taking care of the house and never friends providing support.

Our babies are biologically designed to wake often and eat often. We are biologically designed for a village. Be easy on yourself and your baby. We were never meant to live like this.”

Posted • On World Maternal Mental Health Day, we’re here to remind you that your mental health matters, your trauma matters.

Flashbacks.
Nightmares.
Hypervigilance.
Rumination.
Delayed Bonding.
Dissociation.
Loss of self.
Regret.
Guilt.
Shame.
Depression.
Anxiety.

The list goes on after birth trauma. There is no part of our lives untouched.

Physical health is not the only health that matters, and more than that, physical health does not exist independent of mental health. They are inherently intertwined. Trauma is one the best examples of this.

While we are absolutely grateful to survive, that is the bare minimum. Surviving our traumatic birth experience does not equate to “a healthy mom and healthy baby.” Our health is so much more than merely surviving.

The irony of telling a person who is drowning in trauma to just be grateful they’re healthy would be laughable if it weren’t so harmful.

Each year, in the U.S. over a million pregnant patients will leave their birth experience with trauma. This experince of trauma has shown to not only increase the risk for PTSD, but also postpartum depression and anxiety (PPD & PPA).

Let’s stop telling individuals to just be grateful they survived the birth of their child. Instead, let’s keep talking about the ways to prevent and mitigate birth trauma while offering acknowledgment and resources to those who experience it.
