After giving birth, there are many moms who are not overcome with the joy that they expected to feel once their little one arrives. While this may seem like a bad way to begin your journey into motherhood, this is actually a common issue. Feelings of depression can creep in and overshadow any positive feelings connected to the arrival of the baby.
There have been numerous works that have fictionalized “baby blues” and made it appear as if it is something that is not very serious, but this is not the case at all. Unfortunately, some people get so depressed after having a child that they cause harm to themselves and/or the baby.
