Everyone talks about the joy of having a baby.
Far fewer people talk about the sadness, anxiety, emptiness, guilt, or overwhelm that some mothers experience after childbirth.
Postpartum depression is not weakness. It is not a lack of gratitude. And it is not something a mother can simply "snap out of."
The sooner we recognize the signs, the sooner mothers can get the support they deserve.
If you know a new mother, check in. Not just on the baby. On her too. đź’™
