Is This You, Sis?

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.

–Are you excited about becoming a mama but also feeling a little scared about pregnancy?

–Have you had a past experience like a pregnancy loss or a baby arriving too early, and you’re worried?

–Feel like you’re not being heard or fully understood during your visits?

–Do you feel like you and your provider are speaking two different languages?

–And with all the advice you find online, does it sometimes make things more confusing? 

👉🏾 You’re excited to become a mama, but you’re still scared.

👉🏾You’ve experienced loss or preterm birth, and you just want this time to feel different.

👉🏾You’ve spoken up at appointments—but left feeling dismissed, ignored, or lowkey disrespected.

👉🏾 You feel like you and your provider are speaking two different languages.

👉🏾 You’ve Googled everything, saved all the posts… and somehow still feel unsure.

If you’ve been nodding your head, saying “that’s me,” or even rolling your eyes because it’s your sad reality-—you’re not alone.
