🤍 A little resource for a really important conversation.
I made these postpartum depression resource magnets for moms & their support people to keep on the fridge as a simple reminder of some of the signs of postpartum depression.
The postpartum period can be beautiful, exhausting, overwhelming, emotional… sometimes all at once. & when you’re in the middle of it, it can be difficult to recognize that what you’re experiencing may be more than the typical ups & downs of new parenthood.
That’s why I think this is also a great conversation to have before baby arrives.
Talk to your partner, family member or support person about postpartum mental health before you’re in the thick of it.
🤍 What changes should they watch for?
🤍 What might be a sign that you’re struggling?
🤍 How would you like them to check in with you?
🤍 Who can you reach out to if you need more support?
Having that conversation ahead of time can create an open line of communication for those early postpartum days when asking for help might feel especially difficult.
& remember: postpartum depression can look different for everyone, & experiencing some of these signs doesn’t automatically mean you have PPD. If you or someone you love is struggling, reaching out to a healthcare provider is an important step.
You don’t have to wait until you’re completely overwhelmed to ask for support. 🤍
Save this post, share it with someone who may need it, & consider having that conversation before baby comes.
