I was incredibley overwhelmed with the birth of my first child. Having been in a professional career I assumed parenting would be easy; I never realized how little experience I had with children; especially newborns. High anxiety and sleep deprivation soon led to a severe case of postpartum depression in which I ended up in therapy. My counselor recommended Birth Blessings for help and support. I was pleasantly surprised by how empathetic and non-judgemental April and Pat were. They came a couple of nights a week so I could get an uninterrupted full nights sleep, and slowly the depression began to diminish. They also gave me guidance on all diffrent aspects of baby care. When I got pregnant with my second child I did not hesitate to call them again. They helped me through those first months (in which I had a broken foot and the flu!) and I am happy to say I escaped postpartum depression this time around. I would highly recommend Birth Blessings to help ease the transition of having a new little one in the house!!!
