On Sunday evening, 15-year-old Calaya, a western lowland gorilla, gave birth to a male gorilla. The baby gorilla is named Moke, which means “little one” or “junior” in the Lingala language. The birth was the first primate birth at the zoo in nine years.🙏🐵👶 #motherhood #calaya #moke #primates #bonding #doulalove #gorilla

RG @thisisloom 🙏❤️ ... NICU TRAUMA 〰 via @theatlantic ❤️ “The experience of the NICU, as in the birth of a premature baby—it’s a very different kind of trauma from single-incident trauma, like someone in a car accident,” explains Richard J. Shaw, professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at @standfordchildrens. In the NICU, traumatic, stressful events are continuous: your baby’s fragile health, other babies coding, potential for a flow of bad news about your baby’s current health and future prognosis. Mothers—themselves still recovering from childbirth—commonly describe guilt and a sense of uselessness in the shadow of a medical team of experts. Only in recent years have researchers begun recognizing that the fear, stress, and anxiety parents carry with them out of the NICU can manifest later as PTSD. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Peer support is a useful method for treating PTSD. “Speaking to a parent who’s been through something similar and learned how to cope with it is tremendously powerful,” Shaw says. Writing a trauma narrative is also common practice, which in a clinical setting might include writing out a full story of the traumatic event, and going through paragraph by paragraph to consider the feelings those memories arouse—perhaps two or three times. When such a therapeutic setting is unavailable, there’s evidence that writing for 20 minutes a day about one’s trauma can relieve distress, anger, and anxiety, and somewhat reduce PTSD symptoms. 📒 #LOOMforall ™@thisisloom #NICU #postpartum #ptsd #doulalove
