Once you welcome home the arrival of your newborn there is a process of adjusting to your new life & establishing a new sense of normal.
Whilst it is expected that parents will experience exhaustion, sleep-deprivation & general feelings of worry and concern, it’s worthwhile to have an understanding of what is considered normal levels of unhappiness & what could be considered a little more serious.
That said, we’re here today to discuss Postal Natal Depression to shed light on this very important topic with our special guest Heather Lindsay. Heather is a registered nurse & parenting coach who specialises in working with mothers with post natal depression.
We ask Heather questions including:
- What is postnatal depression (PND) & how can a new mum recognise the early signs?
- Are the baby blues & PND the same thing?
- How would a mum know if she is suffering from post natal depression?
- What should mums do if they think they have perinatal depression or anxiety?
- Can post natal depression be treated? If so, how?
- Why is it important to talk about our experiences with perinatal depression & anxiety?
- How should a mother with PND best respond to their baby when they are stressed?
- What things can mums do on a daily basis to help support their recovery from perinatal depression and anxiety?
