Making the transition into motherhood is an exciting time for many women. But along with that transition can come many stressors as well. No matter if you are a first time mom or are adding another baby to your family, many women struggle during the first few weeks after they give birth. It is estimated that 50%-80% of women struggle with baby blues. For some women though it is more than the baby blues. Postpartum depression has many of the same symptoms as the baby blues but the duration and intensity are more severe. Women can even begin to develop depression and anxiety during their pregnancy. Let’s face it, being a mom is tough. Maybe you are parenting solo, have financial concerns, fighting with your significant other, caring for multiples, have limited support system or can’t seem to get breastfeeding right. No matter what you are struggling with, there is help. Postpartum depression and anxiety is serious and if left untreated can impact the attachment with your child.
