Post Partum Depression Video

Here is a link to a video about post partum depression from Kathleen Kendall-Tackett's website.  Please take the time to watch it.  If you are concerned about how you are feeling emotionally, don't discount your feelings.  Being a new mother is a major life changing event!  Not only that, if you had a difficult or traumatic delivery, or if it just didn't go the way you had dreamed, that can also add to the emotional struggles a new mother has.  


New mothers are often so busy, that they don't take time to take care of themselves.  We know that it is very important that a mother be emotionally engaged and available for her baby--not just taking care of physical needs.  So, if you have any concern about  feeling depressed, don't delay calling your OB/Gyne or other health care giver.  If you are having irrational thoughts of wanting to hurt yourself or your baby, call 911 right away.  Get the help you need.
