On my yahoo homepage today I found a link to an interesting article: 8 Things You Should Never Say to a Mom. While outlining the obvious, “you look so tired” and stating the always taboo “when are you due?” whilst not confirming the actual pregnancy, the article is a good guide for clueless friends and family for conversing with a new mother.
I offer you my own list titled
“8 Things you SHOULD say to a Mom who has Experienced Birth Trauma”
1. How can I help?
2. I can (insert chore here).
3. Would you like to rest? Do you need help with your appointments? I can (insert time to babysit here).
4. I can bring dinner over.
5. If you’re interested, here’s a name of (a doctor/website/blog) that may help.
6. I love you.
7. I am here.
8. Again, I love you.
Thanks for Reading,
Lauren
