"17 Pampers: Our Postpartum Experiences"
Postpartum depression can sometimes feel like having 17 pampers scattered all over the house—a reflection of the overwhelm, exhaustion, and chaos that can deeply affect a mother’s maternal mental health. But no matter how the pampers pile up, every mother deserves to be pampered.
Every mother’s postpartum journey is unique. Each deserves access to care, resources, and a strong support network to nurture her maternal mental health and well-being. The "17 Pampers" concept symbolizes the love, understanding, and essential support needed to thrive during the 4th trimester, turning moments of chaos into opportunities for healing and care.
According to the Maternal Mental Health Alliance, one in five women will experience maternal mental health conditions during pregnancy or the first year postpartum. Yet, 75% of these women go untreated.
