#RavsRepro

Self-care can be a challenge for many of us. Add a newborn and a body recovering from childbirth, and postpartum self-care gets a whole lot tougher.

October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day to remember and honor miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and newborn death.

As NICU Awareness Month comes to a close, I wanted to share my experience with what it’s like when you bring that baby home from the NICU.

September is NICU awareness month. If you ever find yourself in that position of being a parent with a newborn in the NICU, this is what I want to tell you…

Failure to thrive. It’s an awful term. All I heard was failure. In my mind, over and over, you’ve failed him, you’ve failed him.

He is FINALLY here — our rainbow baby is home.

What I’ve found there is sometimes amusing, sometimes helpful, sometimes exactly the support I’ve needed, and sometimes downright paranoia inducing.

Rav’s Repro is a column in which Erin explores all topics related to reproduction and reproductive rights.
