This is
depression suffered by a mother following childbirth, typically arising from
the combination of hormonal changes, psychological adjustment to motherhood,
and fatigue. It can occur soon after delivery and can even last up to a year or
longer.
Each time I
come across a topic concerning postpartum depression, it makes me so emotional,
almost feeling like tearing up. 28th October 2018 Midnight is the day I gave
birth to my little girl. Two days prior, I walked myself into my hospital of
choice accompanied by my husband and a friend, and I was booked in the
hospital, and the doctor told me I would spend the night in the hospital. The
doctors did lots of examinations on me. They monitored me, and unfortunately,
they noted some complications, and I had to be transferred to a more equipped
hospital facility to undergo a surgical delivery. A discharge sheet and a
transfer letter was handed to us, and off we went.
