Kanchan Mani Choudhary Mom of 2 children 7 years ago

When you were pregnant, you were taken care for your every need, be it your food craving or health or anything as such. After delivery the focus of almost every member shifts on to the baby. Nobody even cares about your need. And it is obvious. You almost lose that care. And now you have to look after your baby, look after you and your family as well. Sleepless night, fatigued body, so much of hormonal change, recent delivery process which was almost exhausting, and so much of responsibilities and emotional stress and thoughts, whether you are doing good as a mother or not, people questioning your abilities and trying to prove you wrong for everything you do or not do for your newborn ,I think these are enough reasons for post partum depression in a new mother. Dear ladies please know that you are doing a great job, make mistakes but do not hesitate to improve it the next time. Practice breathing excercises and feel positive. This is just a phase that every lady has to go with and this phase will pass. Do not hesitate to take help of others.

when you are pregnant, u r d centre of attraction .ur needs will be looked upon but mom in law guessed tha it will be a boy n forced to opt for natueal delivery but as soon as the delivery happened n it was a girl via c -section everything changed.
i wasn't an important person now.she started taunting n fight wid my hubby who already has loose temperament.i was not hving enough milk for baby as she was not latching n dis she was telling this to all her boutique customer.babywas more dependent on powder milk .thOugh she was taking care by providing food but taunts were also there as u dont greet people who come to home n dont know wat happened to son after marriage.she only was wearing old suit on my daughter's sutra function though she decided to wear sharara if it was a boy n throw lavish party.
so i decided to go to my mom place.she taught me how to tk care of baby,cleaning of bottle, feeding her, put her to sleep, give her bath n potty training n massage, change clothes,etc .
i spent 2 n half month dere n i was happy. but i used to visit dem Occassionally.
after coming back she n my hubby who was in bnglore dat time started again n passing taunts dat u r married now n hv kid y u went for so long.u should get mature. u r worthless.wat my relatives would be saying.i used to feel lonely n depressed which no body understood. now also it is going on

Just try to ignore everything. Concentrate on ur baby. If u will be happy then she too will be happy. Now a days girls are more competitive than boys. Try to make them understand specially your husband. Take care of urself too. Bless u both

Oh really. It means after delivery depression is common for new moms. I thought only few of moms comes under this situation. I have two daughters. It happened to me both of time. I was so depressed even i didn't allow my hubby to go anywhere. But thank God to have very supportive and loving family splly my husband. He helped me every moment. Even i missed my pregnancy days. I was in luv with those days. Well my family, frnds and neighbors helps me a lot. And i involve myself in my babies's personal activities. Dont worry new moms. Everything will be normal after some days. Just enjoy motherhood. 😇

Dear all mommies depression is nothing just a imbalance in your mental health due to stress of taking care of a new born all mother went to PPD once in their life when they become mom yes we are human beings and we already went through too much before our baby born and after our baby born mental stress is happen due to lack of sleep and ofcourse we can't take full rest as we have little baby who need us each and every time when she is hungry, or if she does potty or wetting this cycle is continue till our baby depends on us and on our body we many times feels that someone should help us to do all this job because we are already weak due to delivery and yet need to take care of baby and due to hormonal imbalance we started feeling frustrated and irritated and due to which we start fighting with others and sometimes feel lonely but this a short term and we should understand that this is our job and this is our baby I am also a mother of two daughters and you don't believe I delivered my baby without any family support the only person with me was my husband he took care of me before and after delivery and does his own job also we already had one 5 years old school going girl looking at her making her ready for school making my own food washing the clothes all he did very well as I had ceaserean delivery it was so hard for to do the work but than also I started helping my husband from the 5th day of delivery not all work but in cooking and all I just want to tell all mom that a women is a power she can do anything just believe in yourself and your ability feel lucky that some of you have help of your relatives your mother and mother in law is their to help you feel free to share your feeling your thinking to your loved one it will help you to cope up with the PPD and will definitely come out of it
