Shhhh...its Taboo

Shhhh...its Taboo

“Baby blues & postpartum depression. It’s more common then you think yet it’s still considered one of those “taboo” phrases. Why? Generally after a women has a baby, family, friends, and even complete strangers expect them to be “naturally be elated.” The truth is, this isn’t always the case. While some women do feel that sense of joy and total connection to the baby(s) that have been growing in their womb for the last 42 weeks…there are some that don’t. Lets talk about those women. I don’t mean talk about them in that junior high whispering under your breath while deviously glaring like somethings wrong with them way. I mean lets TALK ABOUT THEM…openly…respectfully…and with some mercy and grace on the side.”
