Prenatal and Postpartum Health Concerns

In 1952 a new mother with a list of health complaints that included, mood swings, exhaustion, insomnia, severe allergies and a general sense of ill being was thought to have a mental imbalance. The fact that mothers had donated nutrients from her body to make up the body of her baby; that she likely had a nutritional depletion from the process of pregnancy, labor and child birth, was not even on the radar. The cure for women was to perform a hysterectomy. The word ectomy means "to remove." And hysteria: well, we all know about how women can get hysterical and if we remove all of their distinguishing female characteristics, like their reproductive system for example, maybe they will settle down. The hormone crash from the hysterectomy subdued her considerably.

Fast forward to our new millinium: We haven't really come all that far. Now instead of surgical hysterectomies women are given "chemical" hysterectomies in the form of psychiatric drugs that subdue them. One out of 4 new mothers who complain of mood swings, depression, baby blues, insomnia are prescribed Prozac or Zoloft, which fall into a category of SSRI's - selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors. Once again it is not usually on radar that women can get nutritionally depleted after child birth and would benefit from replenishing their nutritional reserves. Now that is not to say that drugs of the SSRI category don't have a place. And if it helps to balance one out during a difficult postpartum period, there should be no shame in going that direction. That being said however, we need to note that there are no nutrients in SSRI's. Women still need nutritional replenishment.

Sound Formulas is out to help change the paradigm of how women are treated in the postpartum period. Just as we now accept that all pregnant women should have folic acid to prevent certain birth defects, I welcome the day when all new mothers are advised to take post-natal nutrients to help stave off some of the effects of childbirth.

So, our little company, Sound Formulas was really birthed through the passionate desire to be of service to mothers in the arena of health-care.
