Multiples and Postpartum Depression
This topic is Multiple Births Canada’s upcoming 28th May, 2017 subject for Multiple Birth Awareness Day (see http://www.multiplesbirthscanada.org for more information). While Postpartum Depression (PPD) can be a big issue for parents of singletons, parents of multiples can take a big hit with PPD and talking about it is an important step for any Mother to getting help.
Here is a personal story posted by Birth Without Fear and this Mom’s experience is a well-written article addressing PPD. Check it out here: http://birthwithoutfearblog.com/2017/05/17/i-sank-deeper-deeper-a-story-of-postpartum-depression/
Thank you to Birth Without Fear for shedding some light on a topic that many new Moms face and which still contains some stigma. PPD is a disease, can be treated and affects everyone in the family.
