  • Resumen

  • The government wants us to have more babies. So they’re offering… $5,000 checks.Cute.In this episode, we talk about why that bonus barely covers diapers, let alone the broken system we’re expected to raise kids in. We break down the absurdity of it all — from $18K births and $11K childcare bills to suicidal ideation being one of the leading causes of maternal death (yes, really).So no, we’re not breeding for a tax write-off. We want actual support: paid leave, affordable childcare, accessible mental health care, and maybe a break from the gaslighting while we’re at it.Grab a coffee, scream into the void with us, and let’s talk about the policies we actually need.Sources: CDC – “Symptoms of Depression Among Women of Reproductive Age”​cdc.gov​cdc.govEvernorth Study (2023) – Increase in PPD from 9.7% to 12.0% during COVID​pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govAmerica’s Health Rankings – Postpartum Depression national data (2021)​americashealthrankings.orgMMHLA Fact Sheet – Maternal Mental Health Key Facts (1 in 5 mothers affected; 75% untreated)​mmhla.org​mmhla.orgCDC Maternal Mortality Review (2020) – Mental health conditions as leading cause (22.5% of deaths)​cdc.govPsychiatric Times (2020) – Rise in perinatal suicide attempts (tripled 2006–2017)​psychiatrictimes.comHealth Affairs (2024) – Racial inequities in postpartum depression care (lower care access for Black, Hispanic, Asian moms)​ajmc.com​ajmc.comSurgeon General’s Advisory on Parent Mental Health (2023) – Parental stressors (children’s safety, etc.)​hhs.gov​hhs.govHealio (2024) – Paid family leave linked to lower PPD and self-harm risk​healio.com​healio.comCNN/KFF (2023) – Status of Medicaid postpartum coverage extension (35 states + DC)​multibriefs.comMMHLA – Perinatal Psychiatry Access Programs (20+ states implementing MCPAP model)​mmhla.orgChildren’s Hospital Assoc.
