Shout out to all the mamas doing their best! 🦸🏻‍♀️🤪

Can we not split the world’s dumbest hair? It doesn’t matter if this abhorrent website was visited 62 million times or by 62 million men. It’s a website instructing men on how to drug and 🍇 their wives! Let’s keep our focus and outrage where it belongs.

The saddest part of making this video was how hard it was to choose just a few examples of how men have mistreated women. It’s too much. And lest anyone misunderstand, this is not a women’s issue. This is a men’s issue. It is incumbent upon men to learn how to treat women like human beings and for men to speak up and demand better of their gender.

Working while heavily pregnant, from the perspective of a perinatal psychiatrist: this is not burnout…this is biologically sanctioned exhaustion. 😅

You’re simultaneously managing a full workload and running a 24/7 internal life-support system with massive hormonal shifts, disrupted sleep, and a cardiovascular system doing the absolute most. Of course you’re tired.

Also me, mid-session: “Have you tried rest?”
Also me, immediately after: opening my laptop while 8 months pregnant like a hypocrite.

✨ Gentle, evidence-based-ish survival tips:
• Lower the bar (then lower it again): this is a season, not your baseline
• Protect rest like it’s treatment—because it is
• Eat regularly to avoid the emotional rollercoaster of hanger + pregnancy
• Build in transitions (even 5 minutes) between tasks to reset your nervous system
• Outsource + delegate wherever humanly possible
• Reality check your expectations—productivity ≠ worth

If your brain feels slower, your patience thinner, or your body louder…it’s not a personal failure. It’s physiology.

Signed,
A perinatal psychiatrist who will absolutely be charting from the couch later.

Is it important to eat a balanced diet, especially during pregnancy? Absolutely. But being kind to yourself and having a treat here and there is part of that balance. Food isn’t good or bad. There are different benefits to all foods, even whipped cream straight from the can.

Let’s talk birth plans! Bottom line, flexibility is key. Delivering a baby is unpredictable and having too specific or rigid of a plan is just asking for that plan to go awry. It’s great to have an idea of what your preferences are so you can advocate for yourself. But many times, I’ve seen people experience their births as traumatic because they didn’t go according to their plan.

Did you have a birth plan? Did it go how you thought it would? Comment below!

Disrespect of women is just so funny….right?? It’s so funny when men make fun of their wives or when the President has to deign to invite the gold medal winning US Women’s Hockey Team to the White House and the Men’s Team laughs at this totally hilarious joke! 🥱🙄

Failed the 1-hour glucose test… so now this reproductive psychiatrist is officially clocking in for the full 3-hour experience.

Turns out knowing the physiology doesn’t exempt you from living it. Here’s to practicing what I preach, embracing the data, and packing snacks for afterwards. 🍊✨

Renee Good was a mother. Alex Pretti was a healthcare worker. They cared deeply about their charges and the world. They were me and I am them. They were murdered by their government and there is absolutely no way to justify their deaths. To anyone who tries to tell me otherwise, I urge you to look with your eyes and believe them rather than what the government is trying to sell you. We cannot be free while heavily armed and masked thugs who have 47 days of training treat our cities as war zones and our citizens and neighbors as the enemy. We cannot be free while our government continues to justify their actions and send them to more cities. Stay informed, stay angry, stay engaged, stay focused, stay safe. And to anyone raising children, particularly young boys, raise them to be kind and inclusive. Raise them to think critically. Raise them to know how to deal with hard emotions.
