Support for Postpartum Mothers

Hi, Lindsay. I'm Dr. Sterling. I don't even know if you're

allowed to watch videos like this, if someone can show it to you.

I don't know.

But I want you to know that I believe you.

From my perspective as an OBGYN,

I believe that you were over-functioning throughout your

entire postpartum

period. I am blown away by how hard you

were working to get better, while also working as a mom.

I've got three kids. Know how much work it is, even

when you are mentally well. It's so hard to take

care of three kids. Obviously, hindsight is twenty/twenty,

but I don't know what

else you could have done. You were w- far beyond

what should be expected of a single individual.

You have galvanized us women in a really powerful

way, and I'm not quite ready to tell my story

yet. But when I eventually do, it's going to be

because you came first, and you showed

all of us that we can, we can be honest, and we

can be real about what we experience as mothers.

So thank you, and, you know, I, I

hope that you're seeing our support because we

believe you, and we are proud of how

hard you advocated and how hard you tried for yourself.

And we know you miss those babies every day.
