This was 2 wks postpartum, a few hrs before I spiked a 105 fever & nearly fell unconscious home alone with 2 babies.
I was alone bc Chris was out of #paidleave & had gone back to work. Luckily I called a friend to get me to the hospital before I passed out.

I had retained placenta from Nicholas’ birth & got a massive infection. I was hospitalized for 1wk & then sent home with IV antibiotics for a week after that.
So at 4wks postpartum, I was sick as a dog, with an IV in, nursing two babies. (2/6)

I was in no shape to put on some pants, hand over my infant to strangers, and head into the office.
And yet that is what America women do every day. (3/6)

Happy Mother's Day! We are so proud of all the pro-choice Democratic moms who have stepped up to run for office.
Because when moms are in office, policy outcomes change for the better. When moms are at the decision making table, we all benefit. #HappyMothersDay #ElectMoms

.@TammyforIL knows what it’s like to be a working mom. In 2018, Tammy became the first senator to give birth while in office.
But Senate rules didn’t allow babies on the Senate floor. So Tammy fought to change the rule and later voted with her newborn daughter on her lap.

After losing her son Jordan to gun violence, @lucymcbath channeled her grief into action and became an advocate and a congresswoman.
“By fighting in Congress to protect our kids, I am continuing my role as Jordan’s mom."
