About the Website

I wanted to create a place to share content and resources from myself and others with the goal to help those on the path to parenthood feel less alone and more prepared for what may come (spoiler alert: it is not all flowers and unicorns even when a much desired baby comes)

About Me

Dr. Jessica Vernon, MD, FACOG, PMH-C

I am a board certified OB/GYN with a specialty in perinatal mental health. I currently work at Oula, a midwifery based collaborative care practice in NYC, where I care for and support people along their reproductive journey. I am a physician advocate working to decrease healthcare disparities and to bring awareness and better support for women with peripartum mood disorders. But this is not all that I am. I am also a mom, wife, daughter, and friend. My identity is multifaceted and I bring perspective and experiences from my whole life with me in my mission to help other women along their journey.
