Depression before and after childbirth. From my experience. During pregnancy and afterward I had a period when I didn't want to do anything at all. When I went on maternity leave I didn't even want to get out of bed. That's how my days passed until the birth. After the birth I seemed to shake myself awake, pull myself together, since you have to look after the baby. But after some time the same symptoms reappeared. There was a kind of detachment, like your life is flowing and you're sitting on the side just watching with no desire to get involved. During that time I also gained extra kilos that I'd never had before. I'm still dealing with the consequences. I joined an online community to at least distract myself and be interested in something. If you have these symptoms don't just write them off as pregnancy — the consequences can be different for everyone; the main thing is it's a serious problem. And it needs to be addressed immediately. Stay healthy🙏🏻 in a healthy body, a healthy spirit🙌🏻
