This Isn’t How I’m Supposed to Feel

Dr. Fareeha Malik, DDS, and mom of 2 joins Zaiba & Uzma to describe how she felt after delivering her children, how it impacted her relationships, and how she found healing. Bringing home a baby doesn’t always mean mom’s eternal happiness. Not all mothers feel “the way they should” after the baby is born, and may feel lost if they don’t know where to turn for resources. This endangers not only mom but also a newborn.Our audio sounds different on this episode, so bear with us. We were also so into the conversation, we didn't get to review the valuable resources we have for our community.
