A member asked:
How would you tell the difference between post partum depression or just feelings of exhaustion?

It can be difficult: It is easy to feel overwhelmed by responsibility and emotion immediately postpartum. All mothers, particularly new mothers, need a support system. With enough help, if you can get adequate rest it will be easier to see if you feel down because of lack of sleep, or if negative emotions persist. Any desire to harm yourself or baby is an emergency and should be addressed with your doctor asap.
