Things don’t feel right since bringing home your new child. You’re trying to bond with your baby. But you can’t seem to get them to stop crying. Plus, you’ve been up all night every night feeding, burping, and getting glimmers of shut-eye. Is this the beautiful, powerful experience of becoming a parent? It can’t be, right? Becoming a parent wasn’t supposed to be this tough.

Bringing Home A Baby Is A Lengthy, Tiresome Experience

The good news is that you’re not the only parent who’s struggled after bringing their newest family member home. You may have heard of baby blues, perinatal, or postpartum mood disorders. Have you considered that you may be struggling with something along these lines? It’s scary to face. But like I said, you’re not alone in this. Many new parents experience both sets of symptoms. Support is available to assist you through this season of life.

Baby Blues Versus Postpartum Depression

The baby blues is often described as short-term mental and emotional lows after a new baby's birth. About 80% of mothers struggle with the baby blues. But, there are those whose symptoms persist past the first two weeks of bringing the baby home. In these cases, mothers are more likely to be suffering from postpartum depression.

Finding Support for Postpartum Concerns

American society will likely tell you struggling with postpartum concerns is something to hide. Generations of parents before us have gone through the journey of becoming a parent. But, few and far between report struggling with their mental health postpartum. Is this because they didn’t struggle or because they kept it to themselves? Likely the latter.
