Emma Hughes, a postpartum doula based in Maine, recently shared a story about an incredibly awkward interaction she had while visiting a T-Mobile store to fix her screen protector. She shared the story on Instagram, which racked up over 423K views. In the post, she claimed. “I was like already icked out and like didn’t want to like be making conversation with” the worker since he was “being kind of awkward with me.”
Hughes alleged that he asked her what she did for a living. When she told him that she was a postpartum doula, who takes care of mothers and babies after birth, the conversation went downhill fast. He allegedly asked her, “Isn’t it true that after moms have babies, like they go through this huge hormone shift?” For a second, she was impressed. She claimed, “I think that’s where he’s going to stop. Because it is true. Women after postpartum is the largest hormone shift that a human can experience in their lifetime.”
