ANXIETY & DEPRESSION SUPPORT Calling all Moms to talk about Depression
#NotAshamedToTalk
Every Woman goes through 'Baby Blues' after pregnancy. However, feeling empty, sad and worthless all the time can indicate the possibility of 'Postpartum Depression'. Many international Celebrity Moms like Serena Williams have come out in the open to talk about this but Indian Moms are still quiet on this topic. Can Indian Moms come together & share their experiences about 'Postpartum Depression' ? Can they tell each other that it is normal & can be treated ? Share your Views Now

My husband is working in abroad and after my delivery he does not give attention to me or my son who is 6th month old I love my son very much and always try to for him best and whenever I got sick my in-laws blame on m and when I tell my husband about that he does not give any responses this thing irritate me and fell alone.some time I think to take stand bt only 4 my son I can't do any thing
see, its on you how you take these things.. stay with your in laws but don't listen to them .. if you do not like anything do answer them back.. and enjoy each and every moment with your baby.. don't ruin that time getting angry or irritated with anyone... start enjoying your life .. it won't come back 😊

hello everyone ..I am a mothr of 7months old baby grl..and feel lucky for that...I am also a working lady..now as j have rejoined my office after maternity leave..my baby stays at home with my mother in law.. but she does not keep ls too much care of her as she is not too attached to her..my baby does not eat well and have milk from her when I am in office..I am always worried about her health and nutrition..moreover mg baby does not gets much love and affection from my in laws..what should I do..pls help friends..I facing depression kind of situation
this is the most common issue which every girl faces in india .. I also faced the same thing When my girl was 1 yr old I joined the office and I had no time for her ... she became so stubborn and even lost half kg in just 2 months... i got really worried n then ultimately i had to leave the work.. I started giving full time to her and that is the only option.. because what a mother can do for her child no one else can do or even try to do.. everybody say that they care but actually nobody cares..and if you can't leave the job then you have options of:
1) leaving your child to someone who is trustworthy
2) to some daycare
3) early preschool n day care ... due to which she will spend less time with your in laws
4) if you face issues in doing any of these then you are left with only one option that is just close your eyes, mouth and ears.. whatever is going on let it be.. because saying anything to anyone for the sake of your child is of no good because noone will listen or understand

I am a mother of 5+ month old daughter and am still on the path of baby blues. I feel lonely most of the times. I am working too , I am not only stressed and overburdened but I am filled with negativity every time. Sometimes I’m too depressed that I feel empty and remain silent. I shout unnecessarily and get angry very shortly. Do I need medical help?

you are very lucky to have such wonderful in laws...
take proper rest nd diet concentrate on regaining your health when ur child starts crawling he will be all yours...ur in-laws will not be able to take care of the baby.
had it been ur parents would you restrict them from playing with the baby.
you will rather sit along with them nd enjoy the moments.
make memories together dear you will feel better.
this same situation is with me..... I'll cook meals and do chores.. they'll just relax n play with my baby..3months old...They don't even check regularly whether he has peed or not...As I keep him in pajamas at day time...n cloth diaper at night time... they'll play according to their comfort that is baby lying on back n they'll be busy with their phones or talking with each other...I don't have issue
But let me also have my baby .....not just for feeding n cleaning mess.And off course at night time as they need their beauty sleep.HAD IT BEEN MY PARENTS.... THEY'LL NEVER ALLOW E TO WORK..AND THATS THE REALITY.Whenever I get to stay with them.

my baby is 1 month now but i cant breast feed every docter is scolding iam very depressed for my 1st son too i not gave breast milk very difficult in feed i try lot of things to stimulate hormone and for milk but it not sufficient very depressed while all seeing me like this for not feeding milk
Hi. Don’t feel bad about anything. Your body has undergone enough to produce a new life. Keep trying to feed your baby, you are trying to do what is best for your baby. Just relax and keep trying. I am a dietitian and nutritionist, here are a few tips:
Have warm water before and after feeding, it increases milk production.
Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables
Drink ghia juice twice daily
Drink milk atleast two times daily
Eat soaked almonds and raisins
Have lotus seeds (makhane) daily
Stay hydrated throughout the day
Have 5 types of soaked magaj 2 tsp daily
Don’t be stressed, it will all be fine.
