POSTPARTUM CARE
NOTE: Postpartum depression/blues is something that hits very close to home for me. I cannot STRESS to you enough that Postpartum Depression/Blues IS REAL!! If someone has not gone through it - they DO NOT have a clue what it's like! Some women don't get it that bad, and some women get it REAL BAD! I was one that got it REAL BAD!
PLEASE DO NOT let anyone tell you that you are imagining things or that you need to get a grip. There is typical baby blues and there is full-blown Postpartum Depression. Please seek help! It's REAL!
