Understanding postpartum depression is crucial for new parents and their support systems.  While the joy of welcoming a new life is unparalleled, for some, it's coupled with unexpected emotional challenges. Recognizing the risk factors for developing maternal mental health mood disorders like postpartum depression can make a big difference. 🩷 Previous Mental Health Issues: If a mother has a history of depression or anxiety, she might be at a higher risk. 🩷 Lack of Support: Having a strong support system is vital. Without it, the risk increases. 🩷 Stressful Life Events: Experiencing significant changes or stressors during pregnancy or shortly after can contribute. 🩷Hormonal Changes: The dramatic shift in hormones post-birth can impact mood and emotions. 🩷 Sleep Deprivation: Not getting enough sleep can exacerbate feelings of depression and anxiety. Staying informed and seeking help when needed can help navigate these challenges. Remember, experiencing postpartum depression is not a reflection of your abilities as a parent. It's a common condition that many go through. If you're currently in this situation or know someone who might be, reaching out to healthcare professionals is a crucial step. National Maternal Mental Health Hotline offers free, confidential help 24/7. Call or text 1-833-TLC-MAMA to connect with professional counselors. This service is also available to partners and family members. Assistance is offered in English and Spanish, with interpreters available for over 60 other languages. Have you or someone you know experienced this? How did you or they find support? #MaternalMentalHealth #PostpartumDepression #NewMoms #MentalHealthAwareness #SupportSystem #ParentingJourney #PPD #ppdawareness #postpartumsupport

Why We’re Passionate About Moms At Cherished Mom, we know strong moms build strong families. That’s why we’ve joined #GiveBackGiveNow to make sure every mom gets the support she  needs. Pregnancy and the postnatal period should be a time when women can access care and support for their mental health needs, as much as their physical health. Our organization was founded on the belief that we cannot wait any longer to ensure all women can access life-saving mental health support during their pregnancy and post-partum period.  Don't forget to check on and support pregnant and new moms this holiday season.  #GiveBackGiveNow #CherishedMom #MaternalHealthMatters #SeasonOfGiving #HolidayHope #GiveBackThisChristmas #HealthyMomsHealthyFamilies #EndMaternalSuicide #maternalmentalhealth #ismomok #supportmoms #momsmatter

Navigating the postpartum period can feel like walking through a fog, where hormonal shifts, disrupted sleep, and adjusting to a new routine might lead to postpartum depression. Understanding this is the first step to managing it. Remember self-care is not selfish! #PostpartumCare #MentalHealthAwareness #postpartum #ppdawareness #ppd #postpartumdepression #postpartumsupport #ismomok

Feeling like you're riding an emotional rollercoaster after having a baby? You're definitely not alone! The "baby blues" affect many new moms, and it’s totally normal to feel like your emotions are all over the place. If you're in the thick of it now, just know that it's okay to feel this way and it doesn’t define your journey as a mom. Be sure to talk to your doctor if these feelings persist. #cherishedmom #BabyBlues #NewMomLife #MotherhoodJourney #MomCommunity #postpartum #pregnancy #wednesdaywisdom #womanwednesday #womanpowerwednesday
