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 me too suffering from depression, my baby just don't breast-feed, he just won't feed from the hospital itself. wen I came home my sis in law gave him bottle. he is on formula. I feel so angry and depressed that y did I allowed in laws to do so. All doctors said not to give bottles. N no doctors n sisters in the hospital taught me how to feed. My baby kept on crying. I still don't understand what actually happened. I feel like I dnt take care of my baby and my mother-in-law keeps on taunting abt hospital that it was ur choice. I am tired n feel like m not a good mother.
Hi hetal.. i too went through the same.. and it continued till 2.5 months. I learnt breast feeding after 2.5 months. Thanks to lactation consulatent .. can you tell mewhich place u belong to ? I can connect u with my lactation consultant.. and plz do not stress abt all these.. only mantra to keep ur baby healthy and happy is that mother should be happy.. milk or formula comes second.. lots of hugs

I have started worrying I may have any deadly disease.. even if I have a little pain in head I think it's a serious problem.. once I check up with the doctor for a specific problem... once they say am alright.. I think of something else to worry... I dono how I should be coming out of this.. any tips ppl???
