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

I am going through this and it's very tough to handle yourself. I burst into tears for no reason. At times I regret my decision of marrying though I love my husband a lot. I cannot share this with my husband as this may hurt him and he may not understand my situation

m a mother of two daughters so it's self explanatory that how much I have gone through on their birth. for the first 2 months there were quarrels for no reason. it were the most difficult time for me. I felt m going in stress n it's not good for my babies. but I kept quiet n prayed to God.

but to be very frank I don't care. I have a simple statement for those incl my mother or in laws. I have given birth to them, I m spending money on them so please excuse me. I don't want to listen anything about
my daughter's anymore. tell you life will be easy. being polite n straight forward solves many problems.

but for all this we need a supportive husband. n I have that one. he stood with me in every difficult time which is y I could recover from stress n anxiety.
I am a mother of 2 daughters too and what u said about being clear and having a supporting husband, I totally agree with it.I am too dealing with frustration but at the same time loving to be with my angels..

yes I m a bad mom. becoz I left my 6 month baby for making my career
Don't think on a negative note. Think a positive side of it. Every one has to face some issues. That doesn't mean they are bad. May be you were not having any choice other than joining your office. May be you might be facing some financial issues. Be positive and think whatever you are doing you are doing for better future of your baby. Don't let others effect your views.

hey! please remember you are important. only because of you the baby is here. take care of the baby but don't neglect yourself. Pamper yourself too, it's very important as that will help you release stress.

Don't bother about what your in-laws and husband, I know it's difficult to ignore but that's the only solution. Find something interesting to do, join post natal class with your baby. Go out with you friends occasionally. go for a spa and de-stress.

I'm very happy that you went to your mom's place for couple of months. First baby should always be at your mom's place cuz they teach you in a nice way.

Don't be upset, we all are here for you, whenever you feel low then message us and please know that YOU ARE FOUND GREATTT AND YOU ARE A FABULOUS MOM ❤️❤️
hiii I went through ur story dear,in India every grand mother wants only baby boy from her daughter in law though she knows the whole process.If u deliver a baby boy then everyone near dear wants to come n cherish the moment ,give blessings n everything . Unfortunately if it's gal in second delivery everything n everyone starts blame u knowingly which is not a genuine matter .So don't expect anything from anyone b mature n love ur self .Feel proud being a mother

Due to medical reasons my mother was not there during my pregnancy but my MOL was.. she was with me for the nest 3 months and would not at all help me .. I used to get irritated and frustrated.. me and hubby would have fights on weekends.. I finally asked him to send my MOL back and instead hire a full time nanny to help me look after me precious.. those were the worst days... I could not breastfeed my baby for longer time due to lack of proper support.. but now it's all good.. good that hubby and me realised it soon since 6th month we have been taking care of our little one by ourselves .. better late than never
