In My Own Words

Hey new parent, these cards are for you

Becoming a parent is a big deal, whether it just happened or you’re getting ready. You deserve real answers, never judgment.

This deck helps you explore what’s going on with your body, feelings, relationships, and choices after birth.

And remember: you’ve got this!

About these cards

These cards are for young parents like you, who want to understand their postpartum bodies and emotions, changing relationships, and new responsibilities.

Each card begins with “I am curious about…” to help you explore real questions. These cards offer clear, supportive info—and give you the power to speak up and get the care you deserve.

How to use these cards

• Start wherever you are—there’s no right way to use these cards.
• Read them on your own or with someone you trust.
• Focus on what feels helpful and skip the rest.
• Bring questions or concerns to a trusted professional.
• Scan the QR code any time for extra info or resources.

Each card deck comes with three companion guides for supporters of young parents—like nurses, doulas, case managers, peer mentors, and more—to facilitate conversations and referrals. Professionals can keep one guide and pass the others on to colleagues to broaden young parents’ support networks.
