May is not only our awareness month, but also Mental Health Awareness Month too. A traumatic pregnancy experience does not just affect the body - it can affect ...our minds and hearts too. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or a Postpartum Mood Disorder (PPMD) following a preeclampsia experience is a very real phenomenon documented in research. So what actions might you take to get the support you need? Check it out here: https://preeclampsia.org/birth-trauma-resources #BeyondPregnancy See more

Happy Nurses Week! We would like to take a moment to really acknowledge all of the incredible work nurses do every single day! For many of us, Nurses were our lifeline while we were hospitalized. They not only cared for us, but our babies when we couldn't. From the bottom of our hearts, we THANK YOU! Nurses are the heart of healthcare and are true everyday heroes that deserve recognition for all of the selfless care they provide! Tag a nurse in the comments below and let them know how truly grateful you are for all they do! #NursesWeek #ThankaNurse #HealthcareHeroes
