September is Su***de Prevention Month, and there's something we want to say directly to the postpartum mothers in our community.

Su***de is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in the postpartum period. Not postpartum complications. Su***de.

And it almost never gets talked about.

If you've been having thoughts of not wanting to be here, thoughts of your baby being better off without you, or passive thoughts of disappearing, please know: those are symptoms of a treatable condition. They aren't a reflection of who you are or how much you love your baby.

You don't have to carry this alone. We're here, and so is 988.

If you're in crisis right now, call or text 988.

When the rest of the world is talking about holiday weekend plans, barbecues, and sleeping in, postpartum life can feel a bit disjointed. You’re still on a round-the-clock feeding clock, navigating nap schedules, and managing a recovering body.

A long weekend doesn’t magically make parenthood pause.

Save this gentle checklist for when you need permission to simplify your weekend:

Skip the pressure: It’s okay to say no to crowded family gatherings if your nervous system is overwhelmed.

Leave the non-essentials: The laundry and thank-you notes can wait. Rest is a legitimate priority, not something you have to earn.

Lower the bar: Survival mode and rest look different right now, and that’s completely normal for this season.

When your child struggles with big fears, it's natural as a mother to step in and cushion every blow. But constantly managing your child's triggers often leads to maternal exhaustion while keeping their fears central to your daily routine.

The SPACE parent group at Center for Postpartum Family Health helps you shift that dynamic.

Led by Dr. Meredith Y, this 8-week virtual group shows you how to compassionately support your child without sacrificing your own boundaries or mental capacity.

Virtual Tuesdays 12:00 to 1:00 PM starting Sept 29. Tap the link in our bio to learn more!

It's called D-MER: Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex.

It affects far more mothers than most healthcare providers talk about. D-MER causes a sudden wave of negative emotion like dread, anxiety, sadness, or hopelessness in the seconds right before your milk lets down.

It's neurological, not psychological. It's triggered by a sharp drop in dopamine, not by your feelings about your baby or how much you love being a mother.

Many moms who experience this assume something's fundamentally wrong with them emotionally. They keep quiet, push through, and carry the weight of it by themselves.

If this sounds familiar, you're not broken and you're not alone. It has a name, and talking to a clinician who understands what it is makes a huge difference.

We're here whenever you're ready to talk. Tap the link in our bio to connect.

If you've been waiting to feel recovered, we want to offer a reframe.

Postpartum recovery isn't a destination you arrive at. It's a direction you move in. Gradually, nonlinearly, and with the right support.

What actually changes over time isn't that the hard moments disappear. It's that they become shorter, less overwhelming, and more workable.

That's what getting better looks like. Not a day when everything's fine. A gradual shift in the distance between the hard moments and your capacity to move through them.

If you're in the middle of that shift right now, you're not behind. You're exactly where recovery looks like something real.

We're here for every part of it. Link in bio.
