It’s completely normal to experience a range of emotions after childbirth, but for some women, these feelings can lead to postpartum depression (PPD). PPD can affect your mental and emotional health, and it’s important to recognize the signs so you can get the support you need.
Symptoms of PPD:
- Feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or sad
- Difficulty bonding with your baby
- Extreme fatigue or insomnia
- Crying for no reason
- Feeling irritable or angry
- Trouble concentrating or making decisions
- Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby
