Think about how much time you spend online searching for “answers.” During pregnancy and motherhood you may want more information, however be cautious of websites that are not based on facts or written by an “alarmist.” To feel assured, you need reliable and accurate information.

Joining a Moms group can be a great way to gain local supports, be around other adults (yeah!), and a safe place to ask for advice. Search around for a group that fits you ~ where you feel validated and not judged, cared for not drained and are with like-minded parents.

Cherish all of the help you can get after bringing a new baby home. Try writing out 2 lists – one with the names of all of your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, etc. who have offered to help (or whom you are volunteering!) and make a second list with all of the tasks ~ then play the matching game!

It has been awhile since I have written on the blog. I could blame the holidays, or weather, or just plain busyness! But I want to connect again! I enjoy working with women in counseling, assisting with the preparation to have a family – pregnancy, fertility and miscarriage, as well as coping during the pregnancy. Postpartum or perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are treatable. I will work with you and your support system to manage the ups and downs of many bio-psycho-social changes. So let’s start the new year together!! www.kathryngardner.com
