What can make a woman happier than giving birth to a new baby? But, delivering a baby can potentially trigger women with a jumble of powerful emotions.

More than half of new mothers experience mild and transient mood changes or depression after the birth of a baby, often called the “baby blues.” New mothers may feel irritable, tearful, anxious, or fatigue, and may experience changes in sleep or appetite. These changes are likely caused by hormonal changes in the first few days [...]

Tom Cruise and Brooke Shields are currently engaging in a word war against each other because of a type of depression, called postpartum depression.

According to Cruise, who is a popu
Like seeing crap like this in the drain after a shower.
Yup. The whole postpartum hair falling out thing. Either that, or the Hashimoto’s is acting up again. (Or it could be the fact that I only shower about once a month. Naaaah.)

The mood of a depressed new mother can affect the development of her child for several years, result from a work at Concordia University in Montreal and at the American University of Iowa.Postpartum depression can happen anytime within the first year after childbirth. A woman may have a number of symptoms such as sadness, lack of energy, trouble concentrating, anxiety, and feelings of guilt and w
Women suffering with postpartum depression may in future be able to receive psychotherapy from a specially trained nurse over the phone, eliminating barriers to treatment such as distance, time, or the availability of a psychologist or psychiatrist. Dr Cindy-Lee Dennis, Canada Research Chair in Perinatal Community Health at the Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, University of Toronto, is the lead investigator in the Postpartum Depression Interpersonal Psychotherapy Trial, which is evaluating an innovative way to deliver treatment for postpartum depression, particularly to women in rural or remote areas where they may not have access to a psychologist or psychiatrist, let alone one who specializes in postpartum depression. "This is pushing the boundaries of the role of nurses," says
During my first 3 months after giving birth, I had a baby blues, I think it was just normal and probably because I wasn't really comfortable with nursing and I was kind a forced to do so, due to family experiences and so on and so forth. And by the time, I was started giving my son a bottle of formula, that's where I started getting low with baby blues, I didn't cry much often anymore and I am kind with myself again.Nearly 80% of women experience a letdown after delivery. But how do you know whether your feelings are typical "baby blues" or a full-blown case of Postpartum Depression (PPD)? Here's a list that explains the main differences between the two. This is great information to share with your partner, family, and friends who might see these signs before you identify them yourself.Si
Most women who go through the postpartum stages usually preoccupy themselves with caring for the new baby, more than anything else. While this is a natural instinct for a new mom, chances are her entire focus leans more toward the baby than to herself or to her spouse.

(Author’s note – Sometimes God leads us through struggles and asks that our survival stories be shared for His glory. This is one of those stories. It’s the first in a series about my two journeys with Prenatal and Postpartum Depression (PPD). I am sharing these raw experiences as an offering of hope to those who battle an illness affecting at least 60 percent of new mothers; and to share with you a beautiful victory that was won for me by the paradoxical gentle and mighty hand of God.) Part 1 - When fear rocks the cradle Pregnancy creates peculiar oddities in a body and mind. A case of the “What ifs” besieges many expectant mothers. “What if my feet stay this size?” “What if my water breaks while I’m driving?” “What if I’m not cut out for breast feeding?
If you live in the United States, chances are that you have heard the heated debate between Tom Cruise and Matt Lauer over Brook Shields’ admission that she used prescribed medication to help alleviate her symptoms of postpartum depression (PPD) after she had her child.

Here’s a cool little project I got to work on the other day.

Being pregnant can be one of the most happiest moments in life that a woman could ever have. It is a time for new beginnings, a time of change, a season of growth for her and the entire family. Pregnancy and the sweet anticipation of having a baby can really help improve the family’s relationship. The wait for the arrival of the new baby puts the entire family in a good mood of expectation. In the process, the family members feel closer to one another.
During this trying stage of a woman, she constantly feels and experiences different thoughts and feelings about her pregnancy and her baby. Sometimes, she can feel good and bright about life. On some days, she can be so depressed and irritable. This sudden shift of feelings can be considered normal for other women, but it can be disturbing not only on the part of the new mother but also to the rest of the family if these episodes of sadness go on for long periods of time.
After giving birth, a woman can experience a thousand though
Having a baby can be very challenging for every woman, both physically and emotionally. The birth of a baby can trigger a mix of powerful emotions, from excitement and joy to fear and anxiety. It is natural for many new mothers to have mood swings after delivery, feelings of joy one minute, and moments of sadness the next. But it can also result in something one might not expect like the onset of depression. These feelings are sometimes known as the “baby blues” depression that normally fades away within 10 days of delivery. However, some women may experience a deep and ongoing depression which lasts much longer. This is called postpartum depression.
The earliest medical records about postpartum depression dates back to as far as the 4th Century BC. However, despite the early awareness about this form of depression, the postpartum sadness has not always been formally recognized as an illness. As a result, it continues to be under-diagnosed. There is no single cause for depr
Shhh...there, lay him down softly. I know, he is beautiful. God has been gracious to you, my sister-friend. Safely He has carried you through this pregnancy and delivery, and now, safely He will carry you through all else. How do I know?Come with me - the baby will sleep for a bit, and you will, too. But first, lie down and put your feet in my lap. Rest your head, close your eyes...Let me speak words of truth to you. By day the LORD directs his love,at night his song is with me—a prayer to the God of my life. (Psalm 42:8)The LORD gives strength to his people;the LORD blesses hispeople with peace. (Psalm 29:11)I will exalt you, my God the King;I will praise your name for ever and ever.Every day I will praise youand extol your name for ever and ever.Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;his greatness no one can fathom.One generation will commend your works to another;they will tell of your mighty acts.They will speak of the glorious splendorof your majesty,and I will meditate on
Brooke Shields, 41, says postpartum depression is more common than anyone wants to admit, and that it’s time for lawmakers to pass legislation to help new mothers.
The actress talked about the issue in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
Shields herself experienced acute postpartum depression after the birth of her first daughter.
She made a lot of headlines last year when she publicly acknowledged that she took antidepressants after her first child was born.

Since having a baby I've received a number of interesting comments like "you look like a woman now" or "its good to see you looking well nourished" or "so, you've put on a few pounds." A friend asked me what I thought about my 7 months post partum state, and I didn't even need to think before replying - "I've had a baby!" Yes, there are some things that will just never be the same and, lets face it, they were prettier before. But I love my stretch marks. They are the war wounds of a miracle enacted in my body, the invoice for the greatest gift ever received, sleeping sweetly beside me. I realized recently that I no longer care how my body stacks up to our media-saturated standard of female and beauty. Why should I look to an external source to define the feminine and the lovely? Through my body life has been created, sustained, birthed, nourished, comforted. Beat that, Playboy. (And that goes for mother's and non-mother's alike!)Heather and B&P, thanks for starting this Postpart

Without doubt, the most coveted role-playing game presently on the market is "Perinatal Perils' from PlayStation. You are Molly, a 25 year old suffering from schizoaffective disorder that has just given birth to twins. The object of the game is to steer Molly through 12 emotionally charged levels (each representing one month following parturition) in which you must cope with symptoms ranging from run-of-the-mil "baby blues' and restlessness to full-blown postpartum psychosis and obsessive worrying about your children's safety. In the fight against peripartum depression you wield several weapons, including Talk Therapy, Lithium and trying to take naps when the babies are napping. This game is rated M (Mature) for violence, excessive prescription drug use, and engendering feelings of guilt and utter worthlessness in the player.

We have a president who wants to put man on Mars, use stem cells to help save lives in need, and someone has even devised a way to clone animals. So why on earth do so many new mothers continue to suffer from postpartum depression, something that seems so easy to eliminate if only modern medicine would make the effort. Okay, so maybe modern medicine is researching this illness as we speak, but
