I sat down with my friend, Kait Harras, to talk about prenatal and postpartum stress. Kait is a wife, fellow NICU nurse, grad student, and new mother We had a candid conversation about: 

• Kait's surprising answer on Dartmouth's Stress Test and whether she thought it was accurate
• Her pregnancy stress in relation to her grad student studies
• Her delivery experience and that time the L&D unit told her there’s no room in the inn because of a “birthquake”
• Her experience with postpartum depression and anxiety
• Our thoughts on societies obsession with the postpartum body
• The things Kait tells herself to say that she’s a good mother

It's a beautifully honest conversation about how to best love our new mothers in their delicate postpartum experiences.
