It’s normal for your mood to flip-flop right after your baby is born. If you’re feeling sad, anxious or teary within the first two weeks after giving birth, this is known as the “baby blues” but some mums feel down for much longer, and those feelings may develop into postnatal depression.Signs of postnatal depression include loss of joy or absence of pleasure, feeling sad, hopeless, worthless, and/or useless, little or no energy, or feeling you just can’t cope. As with other types of depression, there’s no simple reason why some women are affected. If you are experiencing these feelings, please speak to someone.You should be able to get life insurance at the ordinary price if you have suffered from postpartum depression. However, if it is linked to another mental health condition, the insurer may increase your premium.
