Postpartum Stress and Depression

Pregnancy, birth and parenting impact virtually every aspect of your life—physical appearance, self-image, personal relationships and career. Many of these changes are extremely rewarding, while others can be very challenging.

Studies have shown that up to 80% of women experience some "blues" in the first two weeks after birth, but some women find that feelings of sadness, isolation, ambivalence and anxiety can persist even longer. Obtaining the proper medical support is essential for the well being of mom and the whole family.

In addition, new mothers benefit from spending time with other new mothers. Becoming Maternity and Parenting Centre offers personalized support and private consultations with a nurse experienced in postpartum adjustment challenges. These appointments can be arranged either in home or in the centre.
