“Postpartum” means the time after childbirth. Most women get the “baby blues,” or feel sad or empty, within a few days of giving birth. For many women, the baby blues go away in 3 to 5 days. If your baby blues don’t go away or you feel sad, hopeless, or empty for longer than 2 weeks, you may have postpartum depression. Feeling hopeless or empty after childbirth is not a regular or expected part of being a mother.

If you have depression or empty feelings that don’t go away, it can interfere with your day-to-day life. You might feel disconnected from your baby, as if you are not the baby’s mother, or you might not love or care for the baby. These feelings can range from mild to severe.

Symptoms of Postpartum Depression are:

• Feeling restless or moody
• Feeling sad, hopeless, or overwhelmed
• Crying a lot
• Having thoughts of hurting the baby
• Having thoughts of hurting yourself
• Having no energy or motivation
• Eating too little or too much
• Sleeping too little or too much
• Having trouble focusing or making decisions
• Having memory problems
• Feeling worthless, guilty, or like a bad mother
• Losing interest or pleasure in activities you used to enjoy
• Withdrawing from friends and family
• Having headaches, aches and pains, or stomach problems that don’t go away

In this workshop we will explore deep rooted origins and causes behind this less talked about depression that many mothers go through without support. 

You don’t have to suffer in silence. If you are dealing with the above symptoms and are looking for a support group, along with understanding what causes this, please sign up in advance as we have limited slots available. 

This workshop is open to all new mums or mums to be.
