We love this quote from @doula_mandy - asking for help is not a sign of weakness. And for partners, friends and family, we ask that you listen to when moms are asking for help. #WeSeeYou @majorcaredoulas

Many celebrities have spoken up about their struggles with maternal mental health. @chrissyteigen @GwynethPaltrow @VanessaLachey @BrookeShields @BryceDHoward and the list goes on. We invite anyone to speak up - the more we share, the more we help another mom. #WeSeeYou

We've rounded up helpful information here: What is postpartum depression, what is pregnancy anxiety, how can you help support someone. https://t.co/GSBaqD3v1e #WeSeeYou

Today is #MaternalMentalHealthDay. In many countries, 1 in 5 women experience some type of pregnancy or postpartum mood disorder. Today we join the chorus who are speaking up to draw awareness, remove stigma and remind any mom: You are not alone and #WeSeeYou.❤️

I don’t go on Twitter much but when I do it’s to make @jcull1010 eat his words! In a big way. #goblue

It's somehow already November, which means two things: 1) 2022 is nearly here (how?), and B) BabyCenter just dropped its annual list of the most popular names of the year!

So, what cool and interesting goings-on and trends did we see with baby names in 2021? Let’s take a look:

@MorningMashUp @MashUpNicole @MashUpRyan @MashUpStanleyT @benharlum Ted Lasso baby names are up big in 2021! Lots of baby Roys swearing on the playground soon. 🤬 Oh and @MashUpRyan your name is the most popular for the MashUp crew. You win that round.

He's here, he's there, he's...okay we're not talking about @TheRealRoyKent but the baby name "Roy" did trend this year as did Keeley and Jamie. Which isn't a surprise for us #TedLasso fans! https://t.co/V5GnRbp23E #bcBabyNames @brettgoldstein #junotemple @phildunster @TedLasso

[Dina Freeman @dinadingo]

Go Wanda and Agatha! That’s a huge jump! And Vision as a girl name - nice. @Marvel @MarvelStudios @wandavision #MCU #Marvel #wandavision @disneyplus #elizabetholsen @Paul_Bettany @people @EW @usweekly #bcbabynames

[BabyCenter @BabyCenter]

It was a Marvel-ous year for baby names! On the girls side, Wanda went up 52%, Agatha went up by 30% and even the name Vision (for girls) went up 20%. And let's not forget Black Widow which helped bump up the name Scarlett to #21 on our list. https://t.co/V5GnRbp23E #bcBabyNames

Speaking of Raya and Onyx, short names are definitely trending. Mia, Luna, Leo, Jack, Aria, Ezra are all popular baby names. #bcBabyNames #bcBabyNames2021

[BabyCenter @BabyCenter]

This year's top rising names were Raya (up 53%) and Onyx (up 44%). The movie Raya came out in early 2021 so this definitely became a source of baby name inspiration. #bcBabyNames #bcBabyNames2021

It’s a good day for @kamalaharris (and @meenaharris). A birthday and a trending baby name? Kamala has jumped up 104% in popularity in our 2020 baby names trends. #bcbabynames #bcbabynames2020 https://t.co/c7WNm5FdAc

We all smiled (and cried) when @paugasol named his daughter after Gianna Bryant. 💜 Turns out he’s not the only one to honor the basketball legends. The names Kobe grew 175% , Gianna grew 216% in popularity this year. #bcbabynames #bcbabynames @NBA @Lakers https://t.co/c7WNm5FdAc
