Postpartum refers to the period after childbirth when significant changes occur in both the body and mind. It is common for many women to experience the "baby blues," feeling sad or empty within a few days after giving birth, and these feelings typically subside within 3 to 5 days. In the instance that these emotions endure for over 2 weeks, and you consistently experience feelings of emptiness, overwhelming sadness, or lack of emotion it could indicate the presence of postpartum depression (PPD).   PPD is a serious mental illness that impacts the brain, leading to changes in behavior and physical health. Some women may even feel disconnected from their baby, questioning their ability to love and care for the child. These feelings can vary in intensity, ranging from mild to severe.
