Post-partum blues and depression are a
very common topic. Are they for real or
just urban legends? How can we cope with
them? How can a woman who just gave birth
prevent post-partum blues or
depression?
The
period after giving birth is called
post-partum. For most women, it is a time
of joy and celebration of being with their
precious baby. For other women, the
post-partum period is a synonym for a sad
period where they feel tired.
What is exactly post-partum blues and
depression and can a woman who just gave
birth avoid it?
Post-partum blues and depression is
said to be caused by a sudden drop of
hormone levels following the birth and the
overall change in a daily routine a woman
can experience when in post-partum. Often,
when caring for a newborn baby, a woman's
sleep pattern will be disturbed as she
cannot get into the deep state and
recuperating state that sleep
provides.
When a person is deprived of sleep, her
overall sense of happiness and joy in life
can be greatly disturbed. Hence, the first
step in avoiding post-partum blues and
depression is to respect one's sense of
tiredness and enjoy naps whenever the
little baby is sleeping.

Women all over the world have been
cursed with the syndrome of wanting the
perfect house and are sometimes obsessed
with having their house spotless,
sometimes at the expense of their own
health. A woman who just gave birth and is
attending to her newborn's needs should be
allowed all the rest she needs. It is also
her task to free herself from her
obsession to have a perfect
house and being concerned with what other
people might think if they saw her house
not being in perfect order.
A new mother has to know that most
babies will sleep through the night and
eventually she will get her routine and
sleep patterns back in order. In the mean
time, it is important for her to accept
and realize that in the immediate
post-partum period, she should allow
herself time to rest and recuperate
whenever she can. As for the wonder woman
myth, she might just decide to give it a
rest.
The post-partum blues is a very
different condition to post-partum
depression where a woman who just gave
birth basically cannot function and is
experiencing increased anxiety and
sadness. Consulting with the proper
medical and psychological personal is
highly recommended in such
conditions.
