The postpartum period is often described as one of the most transformative times in a person’s life. But for me, it felt overwhelmingly isolating. The sheer magnitude of caring for a new life, paired with the abrupt withdrawal of support, was something I wasn’t fully prepared for. During pregnancy, there were countless check-ins, appointments, and well-wishes. But once the baby arrived, the attention shifted entirely to my baby. My own health, both physical and emotional, seemed to become an afterthought, even to myself.

The six-week postpartum check-up was one of the only moments dedicated to my well-being. And even then, the focus was brief. How was I doing? I couldn’t begin to find the words that would encapsulate my daily struggles in response to such a casual question. The conversation hardly skimmed the surface of what I was experiencing: profound loneliness coupled with the immense pressure of navigating motherhood with little guidance on how to care for myself in the process.

I asked my OB when she needed to see me again for my next appointment, and she said, “Oh, either in a year or the next time you get pregnant.” I nearly had to laugh. I felt like a shell of the woman I was before pregnancy, like a bomb had gone off, and everyone was leaving me to sort through the aftermath on my own.

I remember craving validation—someone to tell me that the fog of exhaustion, the rollercoaster of emotions, and the moments of doubt were all part of this massive life shift. That they were temporary. What I needed most was a way to make sense of it all, to feel seen and supported at a time when I felt so unseen.

MyTribe exists to fill this gap for moms.
