Ep 112 3 Words I never use during postpartum

"Must be nice...." I start approximately zero sentences this way because this phrase is pure poison to a postpartum mindset.

No one is forcing mothers to have an in-home visit.

But let’s not pretend that these visits don’t serve a positive purpose, don’t have real value.

And let’s please stop encouraging new mothers to be paranoid about a program that could actually help them and their babies.

A couple weeks back, I asked for your suggestions on what to put in a postpartum-themed basket for a fundraiser raffle. You delivered, big time (pardon the pun!).

I'm putting together not one, but two baskets incorporating the feedback I got.

Basket 1:
✔️ Claw hair clip
✔️ Tea + mug
✔️ Baby care + postpartum book by @helloeema Nicole Lea
✔️ Board book from @goodandtruemedia
✔️ Darling swaddle from @thelittleroseshop

Great work, team! I love how this turned out. Stay tuned for basket 2 later this week.

If your insurance is through UHC and you're working with a lactation consultant, this is worth paying attention to.

And honestly? If you have insurance through anyone and you're receiving or interested in pursuing lactation care, this is worth your attention, too.

The reason: UHC is the biggest health insurer in the country. Guaranteed, other insurers will be looking to their example.

Case in point, we have coverage through BCBS of IL. Sure enough, when I googled, there was a policy reimbursement update from late July clarifying that only one session could be billed per date of service, even though lactation care includes two patients: both mom and baby. https://naturalwomanhood.org/reimbursement-for-lactation-care/

I'm putting together a postpartum-themed raffle basket for a fundraiser but I need your help to decide what should go in it!

Whatcha got for me?

Yesterday, I spoke with Teresa Tomeo on EWTN Radio about why the Lindsey Clancy trial is resonating with so many women and mothers. And it comes down to this:

They've heard her story and they've wondered, quietly, in the private places and spaces of their hearts and minds: "Could that be me? Will that be me? Could that have been me?"

They recall the scary thoughts they had or are having now, the thoughts that come out of nowhere and have no connection to who they are, their values. But they're there.

And the very next thought after the horror of what's occurred to them is, "what does this say about me? As a person? As a mom? Am I a threat to my baby?"

These women don't have to be afraid (which is not the same thing as saying they don't need help), but they don't know that. It's time we told them.

And then it's time we cast a bigger, bolder vision for what postpartum can be. Not just avoiding postpartum depression or treating early or treating at all. But a vision to move towards: actually loving who we become during postpartum. It's not a pipe dream. It's possible.

Every single week, in bite-sized episodes, we talk about how. Listen on all the major podcast players or at postpartumonpurpose.com.
