So I haven't been on in a while. But I wanted to share with everyone that I recently completed several trainings in Postpartum Mood Disorders. I became interested as my daughter is now pregnant with her first child. I was thinking back to my own pregnancies and realized that I had experienced PPMD and did not know it at the time. I have had a couple of clients with PPMD symptoms which increased my interest. Women experiencing these feelings often suffer in silence because the...y are expected to be overjoyed at this time but what really is happening is they are overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with a huge change in their lives, with the drastic changes in their own bodies and now add depression and/or anxiety and more often than not doubts about their ability to "do it all"! These feelings are more common than people think. So talk with your doctor, your mother, aunt, sister, friend. Reach out and talk about it; you don't have to suffer in silence. Oh and let's not forget the dads. They can also experience an array of feelings that they don't understand. See more
