Postpartum Emotions-Are they real?

Well, you would think that after the first child, a mommy would start approaching pro status....but, with every child brings new experience. Mommies are often cautioned to be mindful of signs of postpartum depression, often referred to as "baby blues"-I personally have coined the phrase "postpartum emotions." They are very much real and mothers should be cognizant of them. These emotions often include feelings of loneliness, neglect, anxiety, irritability. Mommies sometimes have appetite changes and crying episodes. These significant changes are due to drastic "hormone re-calibration" after pregnancy. Getting out of the cabin, mommy support groups and outings or counseling often aid in mommy's recovery.
