A question, not an announcement
You did everything right. It still feels like this.
That's not a character flaw — it's biology. We're trying to find out whether Louisiana needs hormone-informed care for postpartum depression and anxiety, before we build it.
Hormone levels fall faster in the days after birth than at almost any other point in a woman's life.
Why we're asking first
We're not open yet, and we're not going to pretend we are. Before we recruit a psychiatrist and build the clinical side of this, we want to know it's actually needed — not guess.
- Your answers here directly shape whether this gets built, and how.
- This isn't a booking — there's nothing to schedule yet.
- If enough women tell us this is missing, we'll bring on a psychiatrist and build it around what you actually described needing.
If any of this sounds familiar
Sadness or numbness that hasn't lifted
Guilt that won't go away, no matter what you do
Feeling disconnected from your baby, or from yourself
Racing thoughts, dread, or constant on-edge feeling
Intrusive thoughts that scare you — more common than you think
Being told it's normal, and knowing it isn't
Tell us this is needed
Two minutes. No commitment, no cost, nothing to schedule — just your voice, counted.
You're counted — thank you.
We'll reach out if The Postpartum Clinic moves forward in Louisiana. Nothing is scheduled, and there's nothing you need to do next.
If things feel urgent right now, call or text 988, or the Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-9-HELP4MOMS.
