Life changes after a baby is born.
Roles shift, hormones rage, chores multiply, finances plummet.
Having a baby challenges a person's sense of control, leaving you feeling depleted and overwhelmed. You also lose some of your freedom, which can be particularly difficult for many women. Parenthood seems overwhelming because no parent ever has enough time, help, training, money, or emotional support. This can leave moms feeling trapped, bored, resentful, depressed, irritable, or angry. These feelings are normal.
