Post-partum psychosis is a mental disorder that affect new moms immediately after childbirth. Some women have it worse than some, some can experience hallucinations, depression, confusion, mood swings, among others. How can this be prevented so new moms can enjoy the early months with their babies?
Child Birth is an excruciating event and life is never the same as before. But, yes It would be one of the best feeling -holding your child’s hand, cuddling him or her, that innocence and trust in the eyes of the little one can’t be matched to anything in this world. But all the hormonal imbalance makes you feel helpless and not wanted. But, a support from the family members can help you cope up the new change in life. Confide your feelings in someone whom you trust and who would not judge your thoughts. Speak to new moms and trust me almost every new mom experience some or the other symptoms of postpartum depression. Try taking help from your mum, relatives and if nothing turns out well hire a nanny. They will help you in having sometime of your own and have your sanity intact. If all the thoughts and experience don’t let you bond with your baby It is time for you to take professional help. Once you visit them you would know how common postpartum depression is and how important it is to treat it at the right time
Postpartum depression is very common and must be treated with support and professional help if it does not ease in a short time. There is no need for personal anxiety or fear. This is part of hormonal change and fear of the inability to cope with imagined failure. No one in the entire world is as close as a mother to her child. She is the only one who has shared her genes and her blood and her oxygen with this child. Every vertebrate of any species feels this bonding. You are more important to our species than anyone else. Nature knows how to respond if you simply relax and let your self go with the flow. Wait until the baby looks you in the eye and smiles. This is the test of a lifetime. When you return the look and smile and return an honest coo, you have past the test. You are trusted for life. You cannot deny your role. You may lose sleep and feel overworked, but no mother ever questioned her special place in the care of a child.
