Let’s face it: Being pregnant is not only a fantastic time full of excitement and dreams for the future, but it is also a challenging time that presents changes in our bodies, minds, homes, and work lives. Arriving home with your little one is a memory you will have with you for the rest of your life. Welcoming your baby into your family is beautiful and creates a whole new meaning in life. There is also a side of welcoming a new baby that is scary, exhausting, and overwhelming. My experience is that most people do not talk openly enough about the challenges of pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the post-partum period. Are you feeling depleted, hopeless, or struggling with rage? These are real and common emotions when someone is experiencing the “baby blues” and could be a sign of Post-Partum Depression. Don’t go through this alone. Allow Emily Voelker to be a partner to lean on while you navigate the ups and downs of pregnancy and the welcoming of not only your bundle of joy but welcoming your new role as a parent.
