Describing Postnatal Depression

What is Postnatal Depression?

People associate the arrival of a new baby as a joyour affair, but for some mothers it can be the start of Postnatal Depression.

Many women will experience different feelings after their child is born. They will be tired, exhausted, worried and sad at times, this is not helped by the changes in hormone levels in the mothers body after giving birth. This is usually put down to 'Baby Blues'. The 'baby blues comes on 2-4 days after delivery and is so common it is regarded as normal. It also clears up quickly.

Women with postnatal depression (1 in 6) are more vulnerable and sensitive than other women. Their illness is not easily recognisable and often women don't want to admit that they are depressed.
