This is an important conversation for Namibia.

We speak so much about protecting mothers during pregnancy and birth, but that care cannot end when the baby is born.

Postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis are serious maternal health conditions that deserve recognition, appropriate care and clear pathways for support — not silence, shame or dismissal.

A healthy baby should never mean we stop asking how the mother is doing.

Maternal care must include the mother. Before birth, during birth, and after 🤍

🚨🚨 DADS, she wants a partner not an assistant she needs to assign tasks to.

YES teamwork requires communication. However, if you learn the routines, sync calendars, read the room, you only then hsve to ask specific questions for information you're truly unable to find on your own.

Because that mental load is heavy and decision fatigue is real.

If she feeds the baby at X time, be ready to burp and change baby after. If there's school tomorrow, make sure the bookbags are packed. Notice there's an appointment on the calendar? Pack the diaper bag. Baby crawling? Do the baby proofing without being asked or reminded.

Don't wait to be asked to parent. Don't leave her to request help for the home. Jump in and be a partner.

Today I am celebrating the completion of the Comprehensive 4-Month Course in Perinatal Palliative Care with Patch SA - Palliative Care for Children South Africa

While I wish no family ever had to hear that their baby has a life-limiting condition, the reality is that many do. My hope is to use this knowledge to support parents during some of the most difficult moments of their lives with compassion, understanding, and a commitment to ensuring they never have to walk that journey alone.

It is a privilege to learn how to better care for babies and families facing these challenges, and I look forward to putting this knowledge into practice.
