Robyn’s Nest is Making Headlines!
Special thanks to our guests appearing this month on Robyn's Nest
~The Parenting Network! Barbara J. Coscia - Mother to Mother, LLC
a company that provides Doula Services to Connecticut residents; Susan
Czyz and Julie Seethaler from ECHN's Family Development Center's Postpartum
Support Groups and First Steps Programs, and Dr. Cheryl Beck, Researcher
and Professor at the University of Connecticut School of Nursing. Not
only did we learn all about the less common of the postpartum mood disorders,
we also got great resources to share with new mothers everywhere!
Robyn’s Nest is Making Headlines! It seems that our show and website are getting a lot of media attention these days! Check out some articles and awards we’ve received!
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder AFTER Childbirth - When we think of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, we think of a war veteran who witnessed unspeakable acts or catastrophic events such as September 11th. What we don't think of are women who have given birth. For approximately 7% of women, the birth experience itself is so traumatic, that they now suffer Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) After Childbirth.
Postpartum Support Services – What IS a Doula? The word Doula is derived from the Greek word-meaning servant or handmaiden. It was coined by Dana Raphael, a medical anthropologist, in her 1973 book, “The Tender Gift”, which told of the benefits of woman teaching woman about mothering. Today, a Doula can be considered part nurse, part coach and part wise aunt with 12 children. Find local postpartum support services in your area.
