]]> 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?

]]> full_moon.jpg
Lune is the French word for moon, the satellite that revolves around the earth, exerting its pull upon the tides and, according to the most respectable old wives, upon the female cycle, fertility, conception and birth.

In moon represents woman at her fullest: pregnant. After that, though, comes the blue moon, the postpartum period and the first phase of new motherhood. With this comes the new role of mother (or multiple times a mother) recovery, adjustment and an entirely new life. Babylune started out as a blog about this first phase of new motherhood, as an information resource for the recovery from childbirth.

And, it has become a lot more. While I still seek to fulfill my mission, this blog is just as much about the woman who writes it as it is about reproductive health. After all, motherhood is about more than just giving birth or sharing your life with children.

It’s about you. It’s about who you are, what you choose to do with your life and what you need. I think, those are all important things to write about and discuss. What about you?
