Is This The Baby Blues....Or Something Else?

**trigger warning: this episode discusses PPD/PPA/PPP, including mentions of self harm and child harm**So the baby arrives and you're sobbing in the shower. Every day. Is this NORMAL? Today on The Snooze Button, I'm talking about postpartum mental health. I share my (highly traumatic) birth story with my first child, answer the questions you guys submitted, and what exactly is "Baby Blues" v Depression, Anxiety, and Psychosis. We also dive into how to prepare mentally for baby's arrival, and how to manage and protect your health in the early weeks and months of motherhood.If you listen to this episode and are worried you may be struggling with PPD/PPA/PPP, PLEASE talk to your doctor (any doctor - your OB, Pediatrician or a Licensed Therapist, immediately).
