To all my friends who are mothers: Did your sensory issues increase in severity while you were pregnant? How did you care for yourself and treat sensory overwhelm? Do you have any resources that I can offer my neurodivergent doula clients?
I've already suggested accommodating sensory issues by using earplugs, eating safe foods, only wearing comfortable clothes, dropping or delegating as much as possible, avoiding crowded spaces or any situation where she'll have to follow more than one conversation at once, things like that. I'd love to know what you would suggest!
