ABOUT AOM
Alchemy al·che·my /ËalkÉmÄ/: a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.
My Mission
âWelcome to Alchemy of Motherhood, a postpartum resource website and community for mothers. My aim is to provide a safe space for mothers to connect, learn, and discuss the less talked about issues. Recovery is not a linear process; it is often chaotic, perplexing, and marked by a lack of information.
â
In addition to the library of resources, I invite you to join our Discord community. Here, you’ll find a safe, welcoming space to connect with other mothers, share your experiences, ask questions, and find encouragement. Whether you're navigating postpartum depression, birth trauma, or other challenges, our community is a place where you can be yourself, find solidarity, and build lasting friendships with others who truly understand what you’re going through.
Let's Normalize the Messy
Physical Recovery
Physical Recovery Challenges
Managing pain and discomfort from vaginal tears or C-section incisions, dealing with postpartum bleeding, and coping with overall fatigue as the body heals can be overwhelming.
Significant Healthcare
System Failure
The lack of thorough follow-ups, comprehensive care, and essential resources in the postpartum period represents a significant failure in the healthcare system. This neglect leaves mothers to navigate the complex and challenging postpartum period largely on their own, highlighting a substantial gap in maternal healthcare that demands urgent attention and improvement.
Insufficient Guidance During Pregnancy and Postpartum
Many mothers feel overwhelmed due to insufficient resources and guidance specifically about postpartum care. This lack of support leaves them unprepared to manage their health and their newborn's needs, increasing stress and anxiety. Better education and continuous support are essential for a smoother transition into motherhood.
