Feeling Safe and Supported at Every Stage of Your Pregnancy

They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a lot of behind the scenes work to feel safe and supported throughout the journey of motherhood. Finding the right support before, during, and after pregnancy is crucial. It was such a blessing to have a conversation with the boob boss, aka Rue Khosa, founder of The Perfect Push. She’s all about boobs, bumps, and babies—and trust me when I say that you instantly feel at ease with her. No matter how crazy the question may sound in your head, she’ll not only provide an answer, but also ensure you feel comfortable and safe. Rue is a pioneer in Seattle who advocates cultural change for all steps in a mother’s journey, including healthcare, the treatment of women, and the role new mother’s play in the workforce.
