We do not ever want you to “worry” about anything. Our goal at Teton tlc is to educate you and, by giving you the knowledge and tools to be successful, empower you to be in charge of your own care. Childbirth is, even when everything goes perfectly, a traumatic event. As many as 9% of mom’s who go through childbirth meet the criteria for a diagnosis of PTSD. (Healthy Children’s Project) A much greater number demonstrate at least one of the signs or symptoms for PTSD. When you have a postpartum visit from our Registered Nurse and Certified Lactation Counselor, we will use a Postpartum Depression screening tool. More than that, we’ll spend time talking with you about every aspect of your postpartum experience. Our trained professionals will help you identify when you need a little extra tlc and, if needed, refer you to a mental health professional specializing in postpartum issues. With empathy and compassion, we will help you thrive in your postpartum experience.
At Teton tlc, we also believe in an ounce of prevention. When we are able to work with you before, during, and after delivery, we can really get to know you, your individual needs, and make your experience as happy and stress free as possible. When we arm you with knowledge and realistic, achievable expectations, we empower you to have the experience you want and deserve.
