Many Mums come to me asking for support with postnatal illness (often known as postnatal depression but it can also include anxiety, stress and trauma). They ask me “why me?”. Its often explained as a hormone imbalance after birth, but hormones are just part of the equation. There are many contributing factors that can make a woman at risk for postnatal illness. Some are listed here, but there are more. Often a difficult childhood of your own, or your expectations of what parenting might be like due to your own experiences of being parented, can make you vulnerable. If you would like some support Im here for you. Ive been through it too, and later became a psychotherapist so I could help others, as I know how deeply difficult motherhood with postnatal illness can be. Please get in touch.
