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

Hi.. I am mother of 6week old baby. I am depressed nowadays... The reason behind it is my in laws.

After my delivery, as I got discharged from hospital. We came home very happily. My inlaws came to our place to live with us. I was also very happy.

But the prob is that they try to keep the baby with themselves always. In early morning they took the baby.. During day time they play with him. Even if he is crying, they don't give me... Says we will manage. When ever i ask them to took baby they says, we want to play with baby..sometimes inlaws get angry with me

I feel like i am only the milk machine.. When my inlaws feel that baby hungry then they give me...

I am very upset... And me n my hubby always fight on this thing.

Plz let me know am i over reacting??

its good actually that ur inlaws r tacking care of ur child ...u r getting free time.... just focus on regaining ur pre pregnancy health... do yog, exercise ... try to get back to ur job....
and don't worry... ur child will be urs only...
no body can replace mom and dad...

ok tell me.... what if ??
they leave ur child on u only....
will u not get irritated even with that ???

I had Postpartum depression and realised only after 2 years when situation become worst. I consulted a professional and realized that people are not much aware of this situation. I was thinking I was too stressed, on a verge of divorce, couldn't perform well professionally... I am so happy i took professional help and could manage the things much better. Awareness is one thing we should promote. If we delay things it turns out worse.

Stay happy stay healthy...
its great that u took professional help...
... most people don't take that and continue to suffer unnecessary...

by the way...if u don't mind... can u tell me more about..... how u reached on the verge of divorce??? and how it get solved ???

After lot of medications, prayers i conceived and given birth to my baby angel, but after 2 days I felt what is wrong with me, my baby was in my arms but i was feeling very lonely, empty sometimes i used to think i will not b able to take care of my child, tht i m not going to be a gud mom. I used to cry for any silly things and then i searched over internet to my surprise then only i came to know tht i was not alone and tht feeling is called postpartum depression.
Awareness abt this is very important

hi hiral, it's just not happening to u alone but there are many.And I'm also one. I'm a single parent to my 5yrs son. my husband harrassment comes from different ways. but I always be happy for myself coz I gave birth to a beautiful creature my son. its a gift from God. I always makes him happy coz our stress and depression makes them low. Our responsibility is to make them happy and it gives us 10000tones of strength and confidence.

its been 4yrs I gave birth to a baby boy. after my delivery n during my pregnancy I always feel depressed and sad coz my husband is a psychotic type. I never had a good relation with him. my depression and anxiety was doubled after my delivery. I never had an idea about baby blues n quiet surprised. thank you so much for making me know coz I thought it happens to me alone coz of my husband. And I would like know how to come out of it. A big thanks to firstcry also
