I’m Michaelyn
I’m so happy you’re here! Let me tell you how I created Birthing Parents…
In 2019, at 20 weeks pregnant I found out I was having identical triplets. Only two weeks later I went into premature labor and lost my daughters.
When I got pregnant with my son at the beginning of the pandemic, I was so scared of anything happening to him that I didn’t prepare for what could happen to me. My son was born healthy and safe at 38 weeks but I was already struggling with anxiety and postpartum depression that was never diagnosed.I was so consumed with taking care of my son that I later realized I stopped taking care of myself. To most people in my life I was functioning just fine, but in reality I couldn’t identify my own needs, let alone get them met.
I created Birthing Parents as a space to prepare parents for the life changing journey you’re on. You deserve care and community. You’ve planned for baby, now let’s plan for you.
