You may find that the weeks and months after your baby is born are not the happy time you expected. If you are feeling tired, confused and unable to cope, you may be suffering from postnatal depression. Current medical opinion estimates that postnatal depression (PND) occurs in up to 15 per cent of new mothers, with different degrees of severity.
For some women it will be a brief time of needing extra support and help. For others it will involve some months of medication and possibly counselling. But women do recover from postnatal depression and go on to enjoy their lives and take pleasure in bringing up their babies.
