We loved seeing all the family makeups on our last round of Metro Meetups come through our doors, and we are so excited to connect people based on familial experiences for this round of our meetups.

NICU families can come in Tuesday, TOMORROW, May 26, to connect with other NICU families, *and* get $3 off your first kiddo!

All families are welcome at JouJou Tuesday, we are just providing a special opportunity for NICU families.

We are hosting some of our favorite local resources, Brittney, Laura and Annie!

Brittney works at in their Center for Advocacy & Outreach, there she focuses on childbirth and postpartum education, where she regularly connects parents with support groups and resources for their mental health.

Laura Camerona is an author over at .worth.repeating, where she writes books to equip parents to make the hard conversations a little easier.

Annie Reise is a Child Life Specialist at Blank Children’s working in the NICU.

"Motherhood shook me in ways I didn't expect. The emotional load is real — and too often, moms carry it alone. It is really hard."

Ashley Tisdale said what so many parents feel but rarely say out loud. The weight of new parenthood, the exhaustion, the pressure, the impossible juggle of caring for a baby while trying to care for yourself, is real. And carrying it alone is not how it has to be.

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone and help is here:

We don’t require a consultation to schedule with us at Meadowlark, but we know for some this type of an appointment could make a huge difference in the process of starting therapy. You’re welcome to schedule a free 15 minute consultation with any of our providers who are currently accepting new clients. This allows you to meet, ask questions, and get an overall feel of whether or not that essential vibe feels right.

We are so honored to get to work alongside Kirby 💕

Maternal mental health conditions impact individuals during pregnancy and after pregnancy. Some of these mental health challenges include: anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar illness, psychosis and substance usage.

It is completely normal to have ALL the feelings when you are pregnant and following pregnancy. And allowing ourselves to say “yeah I think I might need some help” is okay. You have a whole lot of people who want to help you through this 🙂

If you are frequently feeling:
-persistent sadness
-intense anxiety
-uncontrollable irritability
-trouble bonding with baby
-intrusive or unwanted thoughts
-withdrawing socially
-extreme fatigue

You might not just be experiencing a “bad day” AND that is okay. There are resources and support for YOU.

You are not alone on your motherhood journey. You are so valuable, important, amazing and you are doing a great job mama!

It can be hard sometimes to determine if you’re feeling baby blues, postpartum anxiety, or postpartum depression (or OCD, or bipolar mood disorders, or PTSD, or psychosis).

The important thing to remember is that the baby blues are a common experience and will typically resolve on their own within two weeks. If you are still struggling mentally and emotionally after two weeks, you should contact your doctor and/or a mental health provider to discuss treatment 🔵

Another important thing to remember? You are not alone, you are not to blame, and with help, you WILL be well 💙

If you need help or support:
🔷 Call or text the Postpartum Support International HelpLine at 800-944-4773. You never need a diagnosis to ask for help.
🔷 Call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-852-6262
🔷 In a crisis situation, call or text the National Su***de & Crisis Lifeline at 988.
🔷 Download the Connect by PSI app in the App Store or Google Play Store
🔷 Visit postpartum.net for additional programs and resources.

May is Maternal Mental Health Month, and we're Connecting the Dots for Maternal Mental Health 🔵

1 in 5 parents will experience a perinatal mental health disorder (PMHD) during or after pregnancy. PMHDsare the #1 complication of childbirth. And yet...most parents navigate it in silence.

That silence is what we’re here to break.

This May, Postpartum Support International and The Blue Dot Project are sharing the statistics, stories, support, and solidarity about perinatal mental health disorders so that every parent knows they are not alone, they are not to blame, and with help, they WILL be well.

Learn more and help us Connect the Dots this May: https://loom.ly/ZgJv2iU
