A mom gets real about difficult pregnancies, postpartum depression and suicidal ideation

from Voices For Suicide Prevention · host Scott Light

March is Women's History Month and for a long time in history, women have heard things like this when it comes to pregnancy, parenthood and postpartum depression:  'Isn't being pregnant just the best?'    'It's just the baby blues, it'll go away on its own.'    'Postpartum depression will likely lead to bad parenting.'    Fact: PPD is a mental health condition, and no mother is weak or a poor parent if they experience it.   It's actually just the opposite.   Moms (and dads) who speak up and share their experiences break stigmas, help other parents and ultimately help babies, families and drive better health outcomes.   We're doing just that with OSPF's Associate Director, Molly Mottram, who shares her real, unvarnished stories about difficult pregnancies, postpartum depression and finding her strength in both.    Plus, as always, we share resources where you or someone you know, or love can get help.
