Postpartum depression is a serious issue that many new mothers face but often feel ashamed to talk about. However, popular gospel singer Kambua has opened up about her own struggles with postpartum depression, and many other women have shared their own stories of the challenges they faced after giving birth.

Kambua, who is a mother of two, shared that she experienced baby blues after the birth of her second child, Nathaniel. This was compounded by the stress of having a premature baby, whose milk took a while to come in. "To say I was stressed would be a gross understatement," she wrote in an Instagram post. "I got help from my village of sisters."
