Good morning guys, happy Thursday. Today I'm going to be discussing postpartum care and mental health with moms. So I wanted to ask how was your postpartum checkup at six weeks? Did the appointment go good in your opinion or was it quick? And they didn't really answer any questions or talk about your mental health. For me personally, we didn't even talk about mental health or postpartum. We really just discussed birth control and it was kind of, in a way to me in my opinion, felt like the doctor was kind of pushing birth control on me because of my age. I was only 18. So I didn't really have a good experience when it came to talking about postpartum depression and postpartum like all the things. So what is your experience with that?
I feel like it went quick. We didn't really discuss much. They just had me fill out a questionnaire paper to see where my mental was instead of like actually sitting down and talking to me.
Yeah, and I think they really need to go away with the questionnaire because that survey could be, you know, we can lie on those papers, you know, they need to really talk to us and see where we're actually at because it's so easy to lie on a piece of paper.
But when they're sitting with us face to face, they can tell if we're lying or not, and they can, you know, often break us to tell them the truth and confine in them. So I just think that we need better resources and be able to talk to our providers.
At my OB's appointment it was actually through a video chat and I feel like she just surfaced certain things but she didn't really go in depth of the stuff
I just felt like she could've gone in more depth about stuff and I was just very like vulnerable and I was just you know it's only six weeks that have gone by I was like so no to everything at it
Yeah, same here. I, especially with my first, I just kind of went with the flow because I didn't know what to expect since it was my first time. So, but I was surprised with my second that they still didn't ask those questions because it was my second time.
It was like, postpartum is a serious topic that we need to be discussing because moms are suffering in silence and they need to be talked to and they need to know the resources that they have available to them.
Yeah, I didn't have that experience either. We just talked about the same thing like your doctor did to you about birth control. It was mostly what we talked about. So with my first one, she didn't really take her time.
And with my second, it was the same doctor that delivered my first and second. And with my second, she actually took her time and she asked me questions and everything. So it was a different experience with my first and second.
Yeah, I agree. With my second, it was a different experience than with my first. The first, though, I just felt like I needed way more information than I was given because I never was a mom or went through any of it before.
