New moms often misplace those intuitive feelings when stress, uncertainty and exhaustion take over.  And I was no different after the birth of my first baby.  I had experienced physical and emotional trauma from the birth and often felt helpless as a new mom.  I had no real postnatal plan or consistent supports in place.  Since I was a health care provider, I thought I should know how to heal myself.  Months later, when the clouds parted, I realized that if I had trouble coping, with all the knowledge and healthcare connections at my fingertips, then how are other moms who aren’t trained in a healthcare profession coping?  As a result, my inspiration and passion to focus on postnatal care evolved. Nothing else made as much sense as this.
