Post-partum blues is common among
mothers who just gave birth. The first
explanation is a physical one: a sudden
drop of hormones creates an imbalance and
a feeling of sadness. One way to cope with
this destabilizing feeling is to
acknowledge it and cope with it. The first
easy way is to get out and gather with
friends. It is a proven scientific fact
that women who have a good support group
will do better and will experience less,
if any, post-partum blues.
The
other important factor in experiencing the
post-partum blues or depression is caused
by the lack of light. Forcing oneself to
get out at least once a day even if it is
only for a short period can greatly reduce
the feeling of blues or depression.
Real post-partum depression, marked by
a lack of enthusiasm and energy, will
require a consultation with the proper
medical and psychological care. After all,
such a case as post-partum psychosis where
the woman who just gave birth experiences
complete psychosis is not unheard of.
Those severe cases require immediate
consultation with the proper experienced
caregivers.

Post-partum blues and depression can
also be caused by an unconscious factor
which is the grief of the carrying new
life. Hence, although the woman was
experiencing all kinds of discomfort
and was looking forward to the birth and
getting relieved of the burden of carrying
new life, she might at the same time feel
the emptiness of not having this amazing
capacity.
How do we help a mother who just gave
birth to avoid or minimize post-partum
blues or depression?
The simple thing is to be there for
them and attend to their needs. Another
very important thing they need is
rejuvenating and comforting sleep knowing
that their baby is in good hands. Be
careful when you offer your support, help
and love to a post-partum woman, she might
burst in tears from being touched by such
caring attention. In any way, post-partum
blues tend to get better with time as the
baby starts to sleep through the
night.
If a woman who just gave birth, on the
other hand, seems to be losing any
interest in her baby and life in general,
professional help should be sought.
