Many women suffer from postpartum depression and yet lots of women who struggle with PPD feel alone in their experiences. It can be difficult to talk about PPD. New mothers might feel like they have no one to turn to for help.
Perinatal depression can be emotionally devastating. The symptoms can crop up towards the end of the third trimester.
Mothers can have vastly different experiences giving birth. Many are not fully prepared for everything that will occur once they go into labor, or the lasting impact of the experience.
Today, parenting can feel relentless. On top of the typical demands of raising children, you’re constantly exposed to “picture-perfect” images of parenthood on social media.
Perhaps you have recently given birth, and you simply haven’t bonded with your baby in how you expected. You’ve been caring for your child 24/7.
