Share Your Story - Nurtured Postpartum

Your Story Matters

Our stories hold so much power — for ourselves and for others. Healing happens when we realize we’re not alone.

By sharing your story, you remind someone else of that truth, and that’s something truly powerful.

Stories connect us. Yours might be the one someone needs to hear.

Do you have a pregnancy, birth, or postpartum story that makes people go “Wow!” when you tell it? Maybe you love sharing your experiences, or maybe you’ve walked through something that could bring comfort to new families who need to hear they’re not alone.

We’re collecting stories of all kinds: joyful, complicated, surprising, tender, and everything in between. No matter how your baby was born, where you birthed, or what your journey looked like — your story matters.

Selected stories will be featured on the Nurtured Postpartum blog and social media, helping others feel less alone and more supported.

Story Guidelines & What to Include

Are you in? Then read on!

There’s no need to sugarcoat or edit out the real moments. I welcome the raw, the honest, and the healing. If your story includes sensitive topics, I’ll include a gentle trigger warning before publishing.

Topics you’re welcome to write about:

Your birth story
Pregnancy or infant loss
Perinatal mood disorders
Pelvic floor recovery
Fertility or conception journeys
Adjusting to life as a new parent
Sex or relationships after baby
Parenting surprises
Pregnancy or postpartum during the pandemic
What helped you most, or what didn’t

If you’d prefer to remain anonymous, that’s absolutely okay.

A few notes for sharing:

Please review and lightly edit your story for spelling and clarity (around 600–1,200 words is ideal).
I may make small edits for readability, but will never change your story’s meaning or tone.
Photos are optional. If you include any, please ensure you have permission and include the photographer’s name and website for credit.
Any content that is racist, homophobic, biphobic, transphobic, ableist, fatphobic, or slanderous will not be accepted unless it is part of your personal story or experience. Please use kind, inclusive language when writing about others.
