Send us a text Making personal connections with new parents is vital, especially in the clinical healthcare environment where postpartum families often feel lost in the system. • Phone calls to postpartum patients create essential connection points during a vulnerable time • Initial skepticism from parents receiving hospital calls quickly transforms to appreciation • These calls serve as a lifeline for those struggling with postpartum recovery or depression • Checking in weeks after birth is crucial when most visitors have stopped coming • Postpartum recovery can be lengthy and challenging, especially after difficult births • Everyone needs a support network they can reach out to during the postpartum period • Human connection provides critical support within our capitalistic healthcare system • New parents should identify their inner circle of support before they need help If nobody's calling to check in on you, please reach out to someone in your support network. And remember to check on your friends, neighbors, and family members who have recently had babies - especially weeks after birth when things can be really hard.
