Global Postpartum Care
"Every mother deserves a supportive postpartum journey"
Through embracing diverse cultural practices and modern support systems, we're revolutionizing
postpartum care
to better serve mothers in the UK and USA.
Together, we can create a new standard of postpartum care that honors both tradition and modern
needs.
The Lost Village
The traditional support system has disappeared in modern society.
Long gone are the days of the traditional village, where new parents would be surrounded by a
community
of family, friends, and neighbours who would help them get used to a new way of life.
Nowadays, new parents are very much left to get on with it, having had their lives turned completely
upside down. This isolation can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and feelings of overwhelm during
what should be a supported transition into parenthood.
Cultural Wisdom
Learning from global postpartum traditions.
She believes that we should be looking at how other countries value and respect the emotional and
physical
changes women go through after birth. Scandinavia for example and countries in Asia and Africa truly
believe in good postpartum care.
It's time that we look at what we can take from these cultures that support new mothers and apply
them
to our way of life too.
