Jennifer is a mom of six who is pregnant with baby number seven. With Poppy since the beginning, Jennifer started out as part of a doula co-op in South Jersey along with six other doulas when the founder heard of Poppy Seed Health and reached out.

Following the birth of her first baby, she found herself struggling with lactation in a way that she says was “completely unexpected with my knowledge and experience, and it was then I decided to become a lactation counselor in order to be able to provide better care for my patients.”

Clarissa first came to birth and postpartum work as a teen mom. Today, she teaches classes and provides support to teen moms in her home state of Georgia.

Parenting is filled with peak moments. There is so much joy and laughs and silliness. Rather than tell you which parts to be grateful for or try to change your mind about any gripes you may have, here are some reminders.

At Poppy we love being your champion for care planning. This can be for anything related to those long third trimester pregnancy days, those late postpartum nights and everything in between. During this busy holiday season we've put together some care planning tips especially for you.

Gathering for the Holidays? Here are questions and answers to questions you do not have to answer. Even to your sweet grandma — plus some useful tips for managing unwanted and unsolicited questions and advice.

This Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month we want to show our community not just that we care, but how we care through the conscious practice of ‘care literacy’, a term contributed by birth worker Emily Varnam, which means developing a fluency in providing and receiving care.

1-in-4 birthing people will experience pregnancy loss. 1-in-100 pregnancies end in stillbirth. There are zero workplaces that have not been touched by loss. While pregnancy and infant loss are more prevalent than people think, statistics don’t make it any easier when it’s you, your loved one, or your colleagues and peers.
