"No one poked me. No one proded."
One mom is going viral after a moving Facebook post about the unfortunate lack of postpartum care that new moms everywhere suffer through each day. The mother of two noted that after the birth of both her sons, doctors were bending over backward to make sure that everything was okay with them. Yet, as the person who put her body through hell to bring them both into this world, she felt decidedly ignored.
As Lawton eventually explained, while she hails from Canada and is thankful for the good health care afforded to her by the government, on a personal level, it's often not enough. She said that after doctors discovered and removed a tumor from her body, she was in front of her surgeon again two weeks later. But, after birthing a child, she had no such luck.
