Episode 66: Postpartum Depression: Beyond "The Baby Blues"

This week we begin our three-part postpartum series with an honest conversation about postpartum depression. In this episode, friend of the show Christina Kposowa shares her experience with postpartum depression following the births of her two sons, and we're also joined by licensed counselor Dr. Michele Harding who walks us through the difference between "baby blues" and PPD. She also provides some great suggestions for how we can support other moms who are struggling with postpartum depression and demystifies what that first counseling session might look like. We're grateful to have Bryn Huntpalmer from The Birth Hour as a special guest host for this episode. We want to encourage any listener who feels like she might be experiencing postpartum depression to contact her doctor or care provider immediately; today's episode is informational only and is not designed to be a substitute for appropriate medical advice and Visit Coffee + Crumbs for today's show notes and links to everything we talked about in this episode.  Like what you heard?
