There's nothing more miraculous than the gift of life, but for many things aren't always that easy
Giving birth and becoming a mother is one of the most natural and rewarding things a woman can do in life, but sometimes the elation associated with it can be shortlived, as you stuggle to cope with the demands and struggle with the changes to your life and body. You may be suprised to know that Post Natal Depression affects around 10-15% of all women, so you are far from alone in the feelings you are having. Sometimes there is an obvious reason for PND, but not always. You may feel distressed, or guilty for feeling like this, as you expected to be happy about having a baby. However, PND can happen to anyone and it is not anyone or anythings fault. Post Natal Depression doesnt just start after childbirth, and many can experience it during pregnancy. Either way, there is help out there.
Happily, there are ways and means out there to help anyone suffering from PND. I have been offering advice and counselling for many mothers (and even fathers) over the years, and have helped in calming the levelling the balance between elation and depression, helping to cope with the new demands and routines, or just being a shoulder to cry on. If you are suffering from Post Natal Depression and would like someone to talk to , please give me a call..
