Amanda Seyfried Calls Out Society’s Treatment of New Mothers - Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
Seth staying quiet while she talked was so powerful. More of that please.
seth is the best late night host...aware, funny, personable.
You know when a celebrity turns out to be trash and everyone acts surprised? it's not usually THAT surprising to me, but i genuinely don't sense a malicious bone in his body, he's the real deal.
🙌
Luckily he wasn't on any Seth amphetamines.
It's obvious that Seth creates a safe and welcoming environment for his guests, it comes across so clearly and makes for great, relaxed interviews. Why Late Night is my favourite
100% agree
yes happy birthday
so relaxed i fell asleep
Perfectly put!
"How we treat mothers in the mental health system, which is that we don't."
So so accurate and not just for mothers of infants. Mothers with children with any sort of high needs
Oh, yes. And society always blames the mother, no matter what is wrong.
@@Cathyblj So true, I'm 35 and never had kids myself, never plan to, it just wasn't something I or my partner wanted for ourselves, however... my two older sisters have 3 kids each, and the amount of judgment people pass on new mothers is just disgusting, some people just don't even think twice before they tell you what you're doing wrong in their opinion... they also feel free to ask the most intrusive questions like "are you breastfeeding?"... um, none of your damn business! The unsolicited advice is also a little bit annoying because people just assume that if they have experience with one baby it applies to all babies and that is not true, just like with adults... each baby has her/his own personality and also his/her own set of issues (some are colicky, some are clingy, some are screamers, some are quiet). And the saddest part... everyone is focused and concerned about the baby and how they're being cared for... very few people actually ask how mom is feeling or doing, it's just... wow, no words.
no one cares
@@Cathyblj it usually is always the mother's fault
@@kiemgallagher9670 You know what else is nobody's business?
Vax status. HIPAA
Terrific to see such a high profile actor speak so candidly about perinatal mental health. So many women feel stigmatised, ashamed, and alone, surrounded by a whirl of social media and cultural portrayals telling them they should feel blissful and beatific. As a registered nurse-midwife working in perinatal mental health services, it saddens me that the demand for care far outweighs the supply. Sadder still is the secrecy that surrounds families who need care. Well done, Amanda. Keep having the conversation!
I mean...this isn't a new topic so to center the conversation around social media and [sic] pop-cultural portrayal of what motherhood is like in it's ideal sense is somewhat of a slap in the face to *our* mothers who existed before the internet when those "ideal mom" stereotypes still had an influence even back to '50s TV shows. I'm not saying Amanda doesn't deserve credit for bringing up the issue but it's been going on for over a century now. "Mother's little helper" anyone? If anything, it's making it more of a "celebrity" issue rather than the everyday issue that low-middle income moms (single or partnered) face.
I'm not even a mother but I can see how people are only interested in mental health when it comes to a celebrity but not when it comes to their neighbour, co-worker, friend...and that's why nothing changes in terms of social services. If the people advocating are the ones that can afford access to healthcare...no wonder those who are in a lower income bracket never see help.
@@therebex23 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
There was a lot of comfort in that room. Amanda being able to share what she said and seth giving her all the space to do so. Beautiful.
It is impressive how she managed to be both disarmingly humble and profoundly humbling.
FOR. REAL.
Her just swallowing her tears back while she's talking about the first night of putting your child to sleap...
Boy I felt that. Been there.
My spouse and I called it the “dead baby check.” We joked about it so we wouldn’t cry.
Yep. I think any decent parent has been there.
@@absatwell8163 Let's not judge parents based on their level of anxiety. Decent if they feel terrible, but terrible if they feel decent lol
@@chertfoot1500 Well, and also this makes a lot of sense for someone on baby number one, maybe with a high risk pregnancy or difficult labor. But the mom with five other healthy kids probably doesn't have the energy or the same level of worry. Success gives you confidence.
Any new parent who hasn't had that flash through their head at least once is either dangerously ignorant, callous, or chronically intoxicated.
I love to see her like this. I know she has some legitimate anxiety issues and isn’t always great at unscripted interviews in front of an audience. So happy to see both her personal progress and the atmosphere that Seth can create to make her feel comfortable. Lovely interview.
I know it was kind of laughed off right at the end, but I believe the little "I feel safe", "that's what we try very hard to do" was genuine. Seth is such a good host, and I don't think that kind of deep conversation could've happened elsewhere in late night. I've always respected Amanda Seyfried, she's an increase actress, and seems to deeply care about the causes she makes art about.
Is Seth's lobby kid really 3 and a half? Omg time really flies by, I thought it was less than two years ago.
I love that she able to go into detail about the importance of the film without being interrupted
I had Postpartum OCD which was the worst time of my life, but to think that you have to pay $20,000 extra to have a baby in the US and to have to pay extra to get any postnatal care is awful. I am so thankful I live in Canada.
OCD is so misunderstood and often misdiagnosed, good that you got the care you needed! Can't imagine to go through this and not being able to receive treatment 😩
It didn’t used to be as bad. I had a baby in ‘01 and we paid only about $50 or so. And my baby was 4 weeks early and was very small. By ‘04, when we had our second baby, we had to pay about $300 or $400 since my placenta wouldn’t come out on its own. It’s definitely gotten worse.
We don't give a huck about each other down here. No money in that.
It’s outrageously expensive in the US, and they wonder why people aren’t having as many kids!
Hey now, that is just another example of American exceptionalism they keep telling us about. Exceptional at corruption and creating wage slaves anyway.
I love the "normal" interview feel and I'm IN LOVE with the space that Seth creates for Amanda in this interview!
Whenever I hear of the horrific costs and lack of support in USA for medical issues, I'm so glad to be living in a country with reasonable health care
Wonderful segment. As a Swede I can't imagine getting a bill after delivering your child, especially one as big as that. Getting sick or having any medical need must produce an increased level of stress when such huge cost is related to it, in addition to the suffering and worry.
It's usually more, here in good ole Merica. My then husband had amazing insurance, and we still had to pay 8k after ai relievers and we were there 12 hours. I ate no hospital food because they had nothing for vegetarians.
And god forbid we have any actual issues like an emergency c section or have babys in the nicu for who knows how long those hospital bills will rack up reallll quick! 🙃
We have corporate healthcare that is allowed to charge whatever they want. I had to have an ultrasound to check for gallstones, and I had to pay $500 with insurance. I did that through our local clinic. When I had an ultrasound through my doctor, I paid next to nothing. Itnis bizare.
We do not give people - mothers or otherwise - the mental health resources they need, nor do we recognize the importance of treating mental illness with the same support we give physical illness.
You don't even give resources to physical illnesses for that matter, at least you're consistent.
At least noone is freeer than you guys!
I am profoundly impressed by her. I already appreciated her as an actress, but as it turns out, she is a spectacularly wonderful person if this interview is any measure. People who can open up about their vulnerabilities, especially childbirth, post partem, and mental health to another person, let alone a TV audience, is strong. STRONG. Excellent interview.
In Canada childbirth is paid for and there is a home wellness check within 72 hours to see if lactation help is needed or if mama and family need an assist. Mine made me a bowl of soup while my family went to take care of other things. It was awesome. They also were available at night ICOE. I’m grateful for my healthcare system as imperfect as it is, and our amazing medical community. ❤️👏🙌
That's amazing! It's so refreshing to hear about new moms getting that level of care. So, if I may ask, I'm an American living in Canada with my Canadian partner, and we want to have our first child within the next year. Do you know if midwife services, or at least birth centers, are available services in most cities/towns? I'm kind of terrified of moving somewhere where that's not an option for me, tbh
They put me in a mental hospital for two weeks when I had postpartum. My ex threw my baby and we moved across the country in protective custody with no help, no anything. I struggled so hard and I had to leave my baby for two weeks meaning I lost my milk. Baby was 3 months old.
I was with other people not with other mothers so it was a terrible experience. We couldn’t go outside
Having no option to see sunlight is torture for two weeks!!
And this was normal for Michigan
We do nothing for our poor moms. Her experience is from a woman with money
I was a poor single mom running from domestic violence
We had nothing and we’re treated like dirt and it changed how I bonded and my whole first year with my son.
It changed how I can function now
If we helped these people we would have a world more stable and less crime and violence
That's absolutely horrendous. I'm so sorry. I hope that things have at least improved for you and your child now. Wishing for so many blessings and good things to come your way!
I’m so so sorry you went through this. I hope life has been kinder to you thereafter ❤️
I'm so sorry to had to go through this but very glad you were able to get away from your ex. Hopefully there are safe houses in your area that are able to help you and your son, or other resources including therapy. Not sure but would you have the resources or opportunity to move to another city or state that has better resources and weather. I hope things work out for you and your son .
well, you could have not had a baby.... life choices matter people.... why are you haveing a baby with a domestic abuser in the first place....did you just have no idea of what you were bringing the child into..... I don't understand these sobby womens, maybe it is societies fault for teaching women that theyre entitled to a fairty tale life
Thank you for bringing awareness to the difficult circumstances that some new mothers face in addition to those brought about by childbirth. So great to hear that you were able to remove your son and yourself from an abusive home. I hope that the cycle of abuse will be broken, and your son will grow up to be a brave and caring man.
Amanda, thank you for sharing. We mothers here in Australia have it pretty darn good. We have support for free, to cover any needs we or our babies have. It’s a great country to live.
My sister-in-law lives in Australia and yes, you have a pretty good health network. (My niece is going to be one of your future doctors).
I work in Japan and the tradition here is that the new mother spends the first month with her mother. Most elderly Japanese can't wait to have grandchildren. One of the good things about their society.
And mental health care would be covered by the national insurance here. I had a co-worker who was stressed out at work and the psychiatrist ordered him to have one month of paid work-leave. Stress is a big problem here and the country is embarrassed about it. I think post-partum stress isn't an issue because once recognized it immediately was acceptable to have it treated.
@@rabbit251 The best cure is prevention here,,, there is always help available. I hope your niece has a happy and fulfilling life. Oz is a great place 💕
Unless you are aboriginal.
I'm an international student from the US living in Australia. I've been diagnosed with a heart condition. While I've had no trouble getting care here, I'm concerned about getting affordable care when I return to the US. It's possible I'll need a pacemaker in the future, and I know there's no insurance will cover all of that.
@@AnonymousOnimous Keep voting for Trump and his friends and you will get your pacemaker. In other words, wow!!! Incredibly sad! When do you think it is time in the US to change the system?
Wow, it's amazing she looks the same as she was in Mean Girls which came out 17 years ago. Girl doesn't aged, good for her 👍
Only in the US. Countries with socialized medicine have postnatal care for mothers. I was living in Japan when my daughter was born & the municipality gave us 3 months of free nursery school for our older child. Such measures lift the burden for people who don't have relatives to help out.
When I heard that, I thought "backwards savages!", also when she said that "you leave the hospital with a $20,000.- bill". That's insane!
what a LOVELY person! amanda really seems like such a sweetheart
I've been watching Amanda Seyfried act for years but somehow I've never watched an interview of hers and I've been missing out on so much. This is the best talk show interview I've seen. She's so interesting to listen to. Like, she actually honestly talks about things and goes into some detail about her life, and she's so charismatic and funny and sweet! Wow, what a real 12 minutes
She's stunning. She's should've gotten Oscar for that role. Hope she gets nominated again.
I don’t plan to be a parent but nevertheless I think this subject matter really needs to be talked out. Being a parent is perhaps one of the hardest things to do and is a lifelong commitment that there is no training for unless you put it a lot of effort to seek it out yourself and have the resources to do so. I’m glad this film is shedding some light on that experience and our societal attitudes towards parenting and particularly motherhood.
This is shocking to me. In Canada we have health nurses that come to check on you in your home once you have the baby, lactation consultant’s, mental health and doctors are part of universal health care and for each check up with mom and baby for the next few weeks, there is discussion on your mental health and if you need assistance. I am so glad I live in a country that values health care as a right not a commodity.
A friend of mine, single mother, went for a postpartum check up and the very kind nurse asked her if she wanted extra mental health support, ie if she'd like someone to check in with her just to have a conversation. Friend said that would be great and opened up about how hard it can be.
The "mental health support" ended up being a visit from child protective services. She told them she was in a better place and no longer needed the support and they told her she should really comply or else they'd come anyway and it would go on her record that she didn't.
This kind of treatment makes it even harder for mothers to talk about the realities of how hard it can be. And yet NOT talking about it is way more of a red flag, and makes it far harder to deal with! This was in Canada btw. And after one visit they never contacted her again. So much for support.
Mental health is so expensive even if you have insurance. Most therapists I have tried to work with only care about the money. People wonder we have so many drug addicts, homeless and shootings. . . Make mental health affordable and accessible to everyone. I love Amanda Seyfried! She's genuine, quirky and very talented
I remember in "Mean Girls" she had a minor role but now she is a big time lead role queen 👑
And she's faught for it every inch of the way!
and you dont even hear it from any of her co stars from that movie anymore. amanda is the one that survived.
I disagree, if you're in nearly every scene, it's not a minor role!
If you like her work, check out Veronica Mars (season 1 mainly).
Oh, wait! Maybe you meant she was playing a minor. 🤣
Wow, two talented, kind, funny, amazing people! I've come to appreciate and respect Seth so much more over the pandemic - what a model person. And Amanda - what a raw, personal perspective.
Seth says his kid is dressing up as a sea captain but what he really means is his kid is dressing up as Will Forte
In a way, we're all just dressing up was Will Forte.
Where I live (South Korea), insurance covers almost all of your medical expenses when you’re having a baby. And when you get pregnant the government actually gives you a stipend to help pay for other expenses! Plus the government provides prenatal vitamins free of charge to pregnant women. We also have places called “San-hoo Joriwon” which means “after birth care clinic.” It basically a comfortable 2-week hospital/hotel stay after you give birth. They provide all your food (nutritionally balanced-much better quality than American hospital food), help take care of your baby, and teach you basic skills like how to feed/bathe baby. There are always nurses available around the clock. They even offer parenting classes and massages! The purpose is to take the pressure off the mom so she has time to heal her body, so when you leave you can feel refreshed and ready to take care of your new baby at home.
I know my son's wife is Korean. She did the under-water birth.
Some toddlers are very adventurous. We called my grandson “Death Wish Boy”.
I’m so glad mental health issues are being talked about more and more. My baby is 21 and when I went in for my 6 week checkup my doctor asked me how I was feeling mental health wise. I told her I cried all the time. I didn’t know that was not “normal”. 🤷🏼♀️ I had a lot of other things going on as well. Mom with Alzheimer’s, MIL was supposed to come up from FL to help, but FIL broke his back. We survived though. It’s tough.
That's sad. Then I think of the number of mothers who can't afford the extra doctors visit, or the time off to go.
@@ttww1590 Yeah, no mother should be denied prenatal or post care.
I love how Seth makes it feel like a chat with friends
I love how Seth stands up and greets guests halfway. He's so warm and welcoming. That's why I married him in my mind.
So...where did you honeymoon, in your mind?
Really appreciated what Amanda took the time to speak about in this interview. Great interview!
God bless you Amanda, and all women who suffer from this common issue with newborns and motherhood.
I remember those days so clearly. My oldest was 2½ my youngest was born. Thank God their mother is a strong woman but... We were just learning the basics with the first one and then boom, here you go. I do suffer from depression and you extreme anxiety and I swear that I would spend HOURS awake at night just sitting by then making sure they were breathing. And no one tells you "Sir, how are the mother and you coping with being parents?" Luckily we made it through it. Now they're 20 and almost 18 and man, was it all worth it!!!
The series "The Let Down" is about a new mother struggling in Australia, and it is brilliant and criminally underrated. It shows the supports in Australia and yet the still enormous struggle, especially with a male mate, and it's brilliant and I hope becomes a feminist classic if not no, then when society grows up. It's on Netflix.
Amanda seyfried ill never feel tired of seeing her and her voice . Absolutely Thomas sadoski is the luckiest guy in the world
I adore this, this amount of focussed talent, energy and compassion on a topic that is, after all, universal. Love it.
I've just watched this movie and am now watching all of her interviews with Seth to decompress.
Listening to her talk just made me thankful how I was taken care of after giving birth. Giving birth only cost us $500 dollars, I did have a 4th trimester check up, and my lactation consultant was free for me through insurance.
So well said Amanda.18 years ago St. Luke's in Boise did follow-up calls to me and asked very specific questions about both my physical recovery (the color of my lochia!) and my mental well being (are you crying a lot?). The Breastfeeding Bunch is a social group that still gets together weekly with a lactation consultant available, for free. This is another wonderful thing that we can all learn more about and realize the support new mothers need.
In the U.K. we have follow up care with healthcare visitors coming to your home to check everything is going ok and give advice and basic signposting. There are a set number of visits, but if things are a little off they keep coming. Also in the first year there are set visits to the doctor to check early development. The service is pre paid through our taxes, so “free at the point of delivery”. We also have statutory paid maternity leave and depending on who you work for you can get longer. It’s not perfect but there are people and services around to help and spot when things are not going well. Plus if you want you can top up by paying privately for more. I am always surprised at what women in the US don’t have.
Pathetic, for what should be a model nation. I guess Eisenhower was right about the military/ industrial (corporate) complex. They siphon off a large amount of our wealth and call the shots on national priorities. Add to that our growing billionaire club.
So wonderful to see her nerves recede as her passion came to the fore! America is virtually the Only industrial nation Not to offer paid parental leave and post partum support...and our maternal and infant abuse and mortality rates show the price is higher than money.
Thank you for speaking out on this. A friend had a baby at 23 weeks and 6 days one month ago. It’s been a rough road for her.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH!! ♥️ Thankyou for being real and for talking about this stuff. I'm rooting for you.
I can not stress how much I love this woman, she really is amazing and wonderful.
She is such a normal person. I love that about her.
Fantastic human being in every sense, love her and her acting talent!
My love and respect for Amanda is immeasurable :D She is so talented actor & so influential human being, which just draws my attention closer whenever I see her.
What a sweet soul.
How are both these humans so wonderfully adorable & perfectly wholesome?? LOVED this interview 💚💛💙💜
This is so important in America. Thank you for shining a light on this subject.
Amanda’s so awesome.
Thank you for using your platform to discuss maternal health!!! There is a LOT of room for improvement in this country.❤
Amanda is my favorite human ever. I've been a fan of hers ever since i can remember myself. She's my biggest celebrity crush😍😍😍😍
She's great actress👏
I love her!
Love A-Sey 💕
It's so true that 1 year old boys seem to want to die, keep a big box of new things they haven't seen before, it doesn't matter what it is as long as it is safe, just dump the box in the middle of the living room when you get worn out chasing them.
Oh my goodness, I have a very mobile 10 month old and...oooh, boy. He so badly wants to choke on everything and fall down the stairs.
We just went on a 4-day vacation with our friends who have a one-year old. There were four of us and it was still a challenge to keep him from killing himself 😂 So much fun though haha
The way she said about the movie is interesting! And yeah mental health or depression is a serious matter. Am surely watch the movie.
Favourite characters:
Mean Girls: Karen (Amanda)
Mamma Mia: Sophia (Amanda)
She is a fantastic actress I love her so much
felicidades eres una linda mamá !!!!
I love how genuine she is!!
So true!! ❤️
Such a great interview 👏
seth is so adorable how he always puts his hand out for his guests to hold when they walk up the stairs even though they don’t usually take it
Brilliant interview
She is just a breath of fresh air. Speaks so eloquently about important issues.
Everytime I have gotten help for my Depression as a Mother it feels like drowning in a sea of shame.
Only..
It's not my shame. It's theirs.
Toxic family members.
Abusers.
Bad doctors.
Shame on them.
Loved her on Big Love 💘
i love her sm
I hatched 3 little chicks back in junior high as a school project. The simple math is that my dog ate them so 3 minus 3 = zero. LUL! Amanda seems so down to earth. Even the way she dresses is kind of girl next door (If the girl next door lived on a farm).
Love her!
Damn, I didn’t know how much I love Amanda Seyfried. What a wholesome beauty.
A couple of clarifications: some mothers can’t breast feed so when she said Seth couldn’t feed his child, she was also assuming that all mothers breast feed. This is also a stigma that mothers have to deal with. And, yes, under some insurances, lactation consultants are covered. I appreciate Seyfried taking on a role that has so much nuance. Now I wish pressure was applied on our government to support paid family leave… more than the 4 weeks that is currently on the table.
I remember having difficulty, and I felt like an absolute failure as a mother. Everyone had advice, none of it worked. My baby didn't gain weight, so we went with formula, which made me feel even worse. Luckily I had a call in to La Leche League, who thank God, saved the day. It was a simple fix. But yeah. I'll never forget how hard I tried, the pain I endured, how sad and alone I felt, how humiliated I was. If it had continued, I'm not sure I would have gotten over it. Thank you for your comment.
Your statement also needs some clarification. It's very rare for a mother to be unable to breastfeed due to not producing milk or another condition such as being treated for cancer. The most common barriers that ultimately cause mothers to choose to stop breastfeeding are stress and poor latching, which lactation consultants can assist with. However, this requires additional appointments, which are not free whether your insurance covers them or not and there is no universal access to lactation assistance. What Seyfried is illuding to is the ancient cultural norm - that's all but disappeared in the US - of supporting new mothers and removing all their stress as opposed to taking care of the new baby. Many third-world countries still use this village-support method where the new mother only has to worry about nursing her infant. The "village" cleans, cooks, and even makes sure the new mother has time for relaxing baths through the first 3-6 months. In Uganda, the grandmother will move in with the new parents for no less than 3 months even if they live in the same village because it gives the new mother a higher level of support. Unless the US adopts a model similar to northern European countries with years of leave split between the parents, financial and medical support, and infant supply support, or Americans suddenly accept a grandmother moving into their home, nothing is really going to change. Four weeks is not enough when the recommendation a mother should nurse is at least 6 months.
@@kespo5358 you seem to know a lot about this! I'm interested in what you can add on the subject of pumping and how that fits into working, and whether it adds enough stress or difficulty to cause women to just quit breastfeeding. Is pumping a thing in other countries that have maternity leave? I stayed home so never had to, but the whole "feeling like a cow" vibe is indescribable to people wo have never done it, and adding a milking contraption into the mix would definitely not give anyone a warm and fuzzy bonding feeling to help assuage the initial dismay a new mom may feel.
@@carbine090909 In other developed nations that have extended maternity leave, pumping is not a thing. While you can pump extra to retain milk supply, the best option is always directly nursing your baby. When we pump, our bodies are not responding to a baby and we do not produce those baby-bonding, feel-good hormones that help mothers keep producing milk. Naturally, most mothers will see a decline in production if they are pumping only at their regular nursing times. They would need to pump extra or longer to produce more milk or even keep up with their baby's needs. There is a lot of stress involving pumping in the workplace too. You'd be shocked at how many offices still have no space for mothers to pump or try to offer the bathroom. There's also the fact some mothers cannot simply stop working to pump. Ideally, a mother should go to a private room, relax and pump but many pump during meetings or have to wait to pump and that screws up supply for the next day. Combine all this with a baby who has a lazy latch and a lack of universal postpartum care and this is why most mothers are choosing not to breastfeed.
@@carbine090909 I agree about the cow-like vibes evoked with machine pumping. Do a web search on the history of breasts pumps and you'll find they were developed for home use only in the last two decades or so. Why? Because: money to be made. Prior to that pumps were only used in medical settings on an as needed basis. Aside from that we (nurses) taught mothers how to manually express milk if they wished to set aside a supply. No equipment or pumps were involved, only clean baby bottles. We cant even get Biden's original 12 week proposed family leave in the legislative package due to resistance. If we provided the benefit of many European countries, electronic pumping would not be a thing. It's unnatural and does not synch with maternal lactation hormones, thus can be painful or unpleasant, and throws off the milk production cycle. Your observations are on point.
I'm also obsessed with TITANIC. Like damn, yes.
Amanda seyfried is my favorite actress🥰
Such an important topic
i love her
She is gorgeous 😻
My kids loved Titanic stuff for a long time too!
Super nice and obviously intelligent! Wow!!!
I really want her to get an oscar!!! I really love her 😭💕.
“I feel safe” Me too, Seth
She's my favorite. Amanda will win an Oscar.
What an amazing girl
Everyone: lovely compliments about Amanda and Seth
Me: TEAM PIRATE! 🏴☠️ 😂
I always come back to her interviews. See my comment from before a year? Yes, i love her. I really do. I think we would be friends. I love her realness and her cute face and her hole vibe. I think we would be best friends. I hope so. 😅😊 I mean i dont know if she would like me, but i guess so. 😅
Calm Your Precocious Tatas!! is my new phrase!
AMANDA SEYFRIED LOOK GREAT ON LATE SHOW !!!!!
R nurses DO come to your home, twice (or more). They help to weigh baby, see how feedings are going & check in on you. They answer questions & listen... in Canada. Plus, a few other place in the world. It's apart of our universal healthcare system.
Lmao nothing like that exists in the states
Depends on the health unit. Where I am in Ontario, I had to have a real need for the nurse to come out and they would only come out once. And they're only lactation consultants. I was badly, painfully swollen and having dizzy spells and they didn't have a thing to offer me other than maybe I should go to a walk in clinic.
Australia too, and for a few weeks someone to do washing or ironing a general housework.
I read the public healthcare system in France and UK send a nurse every month or every two months to check on the mother and baby, including mental health checks so...you know, US could do better
If you pretend 'zooming' is a euphemism, this conversation takes on a whole new meaning.
"He zoomed me twice - it was *wonderful*."
I know his show is usually comedy and high jinks, but this was a great example of how it’s not always about the funny stuff. I mean what good is it to come on a show to promote a movie if you can’t speak honestly and expound on the subject matter of the movie?! You did a great job Seth with giving her the time to speak with cutting her off or making a joke out of her thoughts.
She’s right, there used to be a village that guided and assisted new mothers- back when we lived in smaller communities and near our relatives. Also there was a time when we respected, valued, and listened to the elders in our families, in our community. Sadly that’s not how it usually works these days. Young people (women & men) are resistant and sometimes resentful of the attempts to help and be involved with new parents and their children. They want help on their terms and if you don’t do things their way they don’t want you there. One of my coworkers constantly insisted on her mother following a laundry list of orders & demands she and her husband required in the care for their child. When she didn’t follow their “instructions” they threatened her with not leaving the child in her care. They made such an issue out of so many small things that she slowly but surely stopped babysitting. Then they were upset because she would not make the time watch their child (she would just visit).
I’m sure there are many exceptions, but that described pretty much sums up today’s parents in my opinion.
In the UK they check on you after your birth and they make home visits to answer any questions or concerns. Very sad we don't do that here
