Mothers Deserve More

We live in a fast paced society and the world is ever evolving.Women give birth and are discharged from the hospital quicker than ever. During that time in the hospital, the mom is being “taught” so many things, with what feels like its’ all at once. It is overwhelming, yet underwhelming at the same time. Women then have 1 to 2 postpartum visits depending on the mode of delivery only never to be heard from again. Newborns have plans to see their doctors within 2 days of leaving the hospital usually followed by weekly or monthly visits. Moms deserve the same. There needs to be more attention placed on birthing moms here in the US.
