The moment that your newborn baby arrives can be a time of great happiness. It can also be a time of major change and worry and even depression.
Postpartum depression affects many women and in differing degrees.
But help can be just a simple phone call to your doctor. Unfortunately, I don't think many people are aware of postpartum depression. I was so tired and there was nobody there to help me. It usually occurs the first several days after delivery and it really only lasts several days, maybe up to 10 days. Many people anticipate their birth with much excitement and joy but immediately following delivery is the reality of having a newborn that is now completely dependent on you.
