It’s completely normal to feel low, tearful and overwhelmed after having a baby. This emotional turmoil that mothers may experience in the first few days after birth is called the Baby Blues. It typically lasts only few days or up to a couple of weeks and does not require treatment.

Postnatal depression happens when these feelings become more intense and are long lasting, and may include feeling depressed, anxious, sleeping badly amongst other symptoms. Reach out to us for more information or if you need someone to talk to. We are here for you.
