Do you know that up to 80% of women will have the ‘baby blues’ after childbirth?
Do you know that 1/5 women with a baby with experience postpartum depression within the first year after childbirth?
It can happen to any women, PPD does not discriminate, so I’ll say it again, it can happen to any mother with a baby.
So that’s why maternal mental health and the month of October is focused on bringing more awareness to mental health in the world. If this is new to you, then listen carefully to the intro because I’m giving you a little 101 to maternal mental health and what professionals are calling it these days as PMAD’s – Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders.
The Doctor told me ‘I was just a worrier’ and didn’t have postpartum depression and let me go.
Jenn Wirth.
