[00:00:00][music] [bell] [music] >> I did receive therapy. It was actually before I gave birth.

[00:00:12]Um but I was really late in the game. I was like 28 weeks pregnant. So, I think I had like one or two sessions with the birth mom therapist before I gave birth and then after there was like several months of sessions afterwards, completely free, never paid a dime.

[00:00:28]Um and then I also uh had beforehand um built relationships with some other birth moms that I had met over time and um they were also just there for me, you know, it was different than like talking to someone, say a family member or a friend who like supports you through this um because these the other birth moms and the therapist has been there personally or you know, they've they've worked with a lot of birth moms in the past. So, you know, it would it was just nice to feel like I had support and someone actually listened and could understand like what I was going through. So, highly recommend um if you can um it is available to you. Um just ask.
