Did you know?
- There are increasing numbers of “multiple” births of twins and triplets with the modern increase in infertility treatments.
- More families are located geographically distant from their families of origin, who provided support for the new family in the past.
- Twenty percent of women suffer from some form of postpartum adjustment disorder, including depression, anxiety, OCD, and rarely, more severe psychotic reactions.
- Support decreases the likelihood of the development of postpartum adjustment difficulties, and lessens symptoms once they do emerge.
- Nontraditional families, including single moms by choice and gay and lesbian parents, may also experience postpartum adjustment difficulties.
How The MomSource helps…
When one or more babies are added to a family, parents face exponentially more demands.
The MomSource’s mission is to provide quality support, consultations, and products to expecting families. We will help couples identify their dreams of family and develop their unique family compass to realize their dreams after babies arrive. We help families identify their needs, connect them with sources of support, and address problems with their support network.
Our in-home consultation will help identify support needed through the MomSource network of support providers. Our weekend retreats provide a pampering get away for expecting couples before the baby arrives. Remote support services through email and phone are also available by appointment.
