About Family Roots Postpartum Care
Bio
As a full spectrum obstetrical nurse for greater than 40 years I was often concerned at how overwhelmed and exhausted new Parents appeared as they were getting ready to go home with their new baby (s). Exhausted from pregnancy, birth, learning to care for their baby-it was a lot!!! They often asked if I could go home with them. I wished I could!!
