    Lane Regional Medical Center is introducing New Mom’s Hope, a new monthly support group to provide encouragement, education, and support for mothers-to-be & new moms who are having emotional difficulty related to childbirth.
Are you feeling sad or depressed?
Do you feel more irritable or angry with those around you?
Are you having difficulty bonding with your baby?
Do you feel anxious or panicky?
Are you having problems with eating or sleeping?
Are you having upsetting thoughts that you can’t get out of your mind?
Do you feel as if you are “out of control” or “going crazy”?
Do you feel like you never should have become a mother?
Are you worried that you might hurt your baby or yourself?
    You are not alone!  Join us on the Thursday, November 14, from 7 -8:30 p.m., in the Staff Development Classroom at Lane Regional Medical Center in Zachary,  6300 Main Street, Zachary.
    This FREE support group will be led by local Licensed Professional Counselor and Louisiana Area Coordinator for Postpartum Support International,  Dana LeTard Vicellio (pictured).  Dana personally experienced, and overcame, the most serious form of postpartum illness that happens to 1-2 women in 1000 who give birth.
