Is it Postpartum Depression?

This is one of the happiest occasions of my life…so why am I crying all the time?! I definitely wasn’t prepared for the intense feelings I experienced for weeks after giving birth. At times I wondered if something was wrong with me! If you’re going through a similar experience, I wanted to share some information that might be helpful:

ANXIOUS. SAD. CRYING A LOT.

These are symptoms of postpartum depression. It’s not your fault.

Learn about a research study that may provide answers.

Postpartum depression is a biological complication of pregnancy. You’re not alone.

During pregnancy, the levels of certain hormones rise and then rapidly fall after giving birth. However, in some women, these hormone shifts may contribute to postpartum depression. The symptoms may begin to appear as early as the third trimester of pregnancy or within the first few weeks after childbirth. If you frequently feel sad, tearful, empty or hopeless it could be postpartum depression. Some women may also frequently experience angry outbursts, irritability or frustration, even over small matters. This condition ranges in seriousness from mild to severe, but only a medical professional can diagnose you to be sure.

The Hummingbird Study is a research study evaluating an investigational medication in women suffering from moderate to severe postpartum depression.
