 <description>&lt;p&gt;This is great news!  I&#039;m so honored to have been a part of the Blog Day for MOTHERS Act.  It&#039;s magnificent that we women were able to come together for a cause that deserves attention and legislation.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>My Postpartum story</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/update-blog-day-mothers-act-day-lets-keep-blogging#comment-30349</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Here&#039;s mine! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ifferjenn.vox.com/library/post/my-postpartum-story.html&quot; title=&quot;http://ifferjenn.vox.com/library/post/my-postpartum-story.html&quot;&gt;http://ifferjenn.vox.com/library/post/my-postpartum-story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s been nearly 4 years since I started my crazy birth story, and I&#039;ve told it many, many times. (Therapy will do that to you...) By all means, if any one wants more details, just leave a comment and ask...there isn&#039;t much I won&#039;t talk about there. :)&lt;/p&gt;

 <link>http://www.blogher.com/help-mothers-everywhere-join-blog-day-mothers-act-october-24th#comment-30331</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;For the first time, i took the courage and gather my will to write about my experience with PPP in support of Mothers Act. Hope this inspires others to support the Act and to share theirs too as you Kathering have inspired me. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Great post about PPD and pressure moms face</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/ppd-work-v-stay-home-rages-self#comment-30299</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Excellent post.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
My hypothesis is that we&#039;ll see fewer cases of Postpartum Depression when we see better employment policy for families. When there is real flexibility, versus media hype about flexibility, that allows women to pursue both mothering and professional ambition without sacrificing one or the other I believe the prevalence of PPD will drop.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Excellent!&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you for raising awareness of this. All too often we are considered weak and vulnerable when we get that &quot;demotion&quot; in the delivery room (that ought to be considered a &quot;promotion!&quot;) I even had a therapist say &quot;clearly you aren&#039;t cut out to be a mother.&quot; Talk about ignorant (and hurtful!)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is my post in honor of the day: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.karianna.us/blog/archives/2007/10/mothers_cant_carry_the_burden_1.html&quot; title=&quot;http://www.karianna.us/blog/archives/2007/10/mothers_cant_carry_the_burden_1.html&quot;&gt;http://www.karianna.us/blog/archives/2007/10/mothers_cant_carry_the_burd...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
