Comprehensive Guide for Prenatal Care Providers
Prenatal visits are often packed with information, yet many families still enter postpartum feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or quietly anxious about feeding. A single supportive sentence can shift a parent’s confidence, reduce shame, and open the door to honest conversation. This guide was created to help maternal and child health professionals integrate mental health support into routine prenatal care by using brief, trauma-informed micro-phrases that build trust, normalize uncertainty, and create emotional safety long before feeding begins.
ABOUT ASHLEY & VERONICA
We created this guide after seeing how often prenatal conversations focus on information, while emotional needs go unspoken. We witnessed parents carry quiet fears into postpartum simply because no one named or normalized them early on. These micro-phrases were created to help providers use everyday language to reduce shame, build confidence, and create safety—one conversation at a time.
