It is strange that some of us can go without ever realizing we ever had postpartum, but it does happen. Think back right after you had your child, did you go through any period of depression/sadness/anger? Maybe it seemed small or trivial to you but it could’ve been postpartum. Many will miss the symptoms because they just classify it as having a baby.
In the May issue of Vogue, Gwyneth Paltrow will come forward about having a case of http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351521,00.html“>postpartum after giving birth to Moses.
“I felt really out of my body,” Paltrow says after giving birth. “I felt really disconnected. I felt really down … I felt pessimistic.”
If you are currently feeling like this and can’t seem to shake it you may want to seek some help/guidance. Even talking with a spouse or family friend can help you with this. Don’t feel that it is a bad thing you are experiencing this, this does NOT make you a bad mother, many of us go through this. Did you deal with postpartum depression of any sort? What would you like to say?
