"This narrative fails to recognize that women are not simply choosing between staying home or working—they are making incredibly difficult decisions based on a broken system that offers little in the way of real support."
AMEN, HALLELUJAH, LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
$5,000 would had roughly covered my postpartum care which I paid for out of pocket, mostly pelvic floor physical therapy, which really should be routinely covered by insurance and is considered routine in most other developed countries. And that is just one small piece of the puzzle of deciding on family size - how well did my body recover and can I physically handle another pregnancy without preventable and possibly devastating side effects. UGH you voice the frustration very well
