😢The coronavirus has been declared a pandemic - the widespread impact it is having is truly devastating. There has been a lot of attention of course on the physical health consequences, the societal impact, the economic impact... but very little on the impact it is having on mental health 💚

Unfortunately it looks like the situation is getting worse and will continue to (at least short-term) - this is why it’s so important to:
1) Acknowledge the role it will/ is having on your mental health (as illustrated in this post)
2) Prioritise your mental health ESPECIALLY during this period - the “outer world” is very uncertain / volatile at present which makes our “inner world” vulnerable. Please look after it!
💚Please share to raise awareness of the mental health impacts - there’s been so little coverage of them and it’s so important to raise awareness of this

I filled this out!!! I know some of you mamas can help as well - let’s do what we can to make ALL birthing options valid and accessible to ALL women!!!

Did you give birth in your home? Help ProPublica and Vox report. What drives women in America to have babies at home rather than in a hospital or birth center?
