“Everyone wants to hold the baby, but who holds the mum?”

Transitioning into motherhood is generally a joyful life event; however, for some women, it is fraught with emotional turmoil. Lack of support has been linked to slower healing times, bonding issues, and postpartum depression. All of which can endanger both the mum and the baby. Postpartum care is critical for a variety of reasons. Care and support can go a long way toward protecting your baby and you in your new role as the new mother. Caring for your health during the vulnerable period following childbirth, care and support also protects your fragile emotions and the mental fog new mothers often experience. Mental wellness is critical for both the birthing parent and the baby’s health and well-being. It is much more difficult to care for yourself and another tiny, growing human if you are experiencing depressed feelings which could be an indication of postnatal (postpartum) depression. PPD is a nonpsychotic depressive episode that occurs during or after childbirth. It is distinguished by bouts of irritability, guilt, exhaustion, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and somatic symptoms.
