We’re back with round 2 of postpartum doula school for dads! My free series where we educate and discuss all the ins and outs of postpartum for partners! 👨
Today we’re discussing the maternal mental load: what it is, why it’s a LOT to carry, and how we can help.
As always, these posts are NOT ❌ to shame partners- it is to help them recognize what support is helpful during postpartum (because this is a new experience for them, too! They deserve grace and education while they learn).
Moms- drop what things really bog down the mental load for you in the comments, or, what ways your partner really helped the mental load during postpartum?
