Una linda mañana con las mamitas donde nos reímos y conectamos en amistad y conexiones genuinas. Estos momentos se recordarán con amor, por la comunidad que estamos creando. Gracias a todas las que atendieron hoy ❤️🫶🏼☀️

The Springfield Community Baby Shower was awesome! We love connecting with others supporting families in our area as well as seeing all of the baby bumps and beautiful families 🫶🏼

We got to meet some amazing people last weekend and make new connections to support our families 💛 we are so lucky to be in community with these wonderful souls.

Doulas help make the postpartum journey a little softer by offering encouragement, guidance, and care during those sleepless, emotional, beautiful early days with a new baby.

Because caring for mom is just as important as caring for baby ✨

Thank you Pioneer Valley Doula Collaborative and Springfield Family Doulas and we look forward to continue working with you 🫶🏼

The Madrina Project will soon have our very own bilingual/bicultural clinician to support our moms and we couldn’t be more excited. Stay tuned for more information!

Is it PPD, PPA, or POCD? 💭

Maternal mental health doesn’t look just one way, and symptoms can show up anytime during pregnancy or postpartum.

What you’re feeling might be:
• Depression
• Anxiety
• OCD
✳️ Perinatal Mental Health Disorders also include bipolar mood disorders, PTSD, and psychosis. ✳️

All are common, temporary, and treatable, but they do require support.

Too often, parents experience symptoms like: irritability, racing thoughts, guilt, sadness, intrusive thoughts, or constant worry… and don’t realize there’s a name for it.

When we connect the dots, we make maternal mental health visible.
And when it’s visible, it becomes treatable, supportable, and understood.
