What Husbands Can Do When Their Wives Have Postpartum Depression
2008-04-24 10:14:00 When your wife has postpartum depression (PPD), which affects about 1 in 7 women after childbirth, you might feel confused, annoyed, scared, sad, worried or any combination of these. My husband certainly did. You might be thinking, "Why can't she just be happy? What's wrong with her? Aren't new moms supposed to be happy now that the baby's finally here? What's going on?" Remember that PPD is a biochemical disorder which is no one's fault - not yours or hers. Although you can't fix it like you can a broken cabinet or leaky faucet, it's your job to support her as she recovers. Warning signs of PPD include anxiety, lack of energy, frequent crying, inability to sleep at night even when the baby's sleeping, low self-esteem, guilt feelings, appetite problems, irritability or anger, overwhelmed feelings, forgetfulness, decreased sex drive, and hopelessness. The normal Baby Blues should be gone by two weeks postpartum, so if she's still feeling weepy, she needs help. Or, if the s...
Postpartum/postnatal Weight Loss
2008-04-24 10:12:00 Congratulations! You have had your baby and are now ready to get your body back! Postpartum weight loss is made to seem like a given...like it is so easy by the way it is portrayed in the movies and on TV. But that is not typically the case for many women. There is nothing more depressing than seeing your once size 4 body, barely squeezing into a size 8 pair of jeans 2 months after giving birth. It feels like you will NEVER get rid of the baby weight...but you will! That is...if you are willing to work at it. The first thing to remember is that "You JUST had a BABY!" so give yourself some time. It took you 9 months to gain the weight, it may take you that long to lose it. Sometimes though, you may not lose all of the pounds you gained, but you may lose all of the inches (if that makes sense). Most women find that their bodies have changed after having a baby. Usually you are more curvy than before...which can be a good thing! So remember, take it slow, and don't be so hard on your...
Time to stop talking, and start doing something about postpartum depression
2008-04-18 13:54:00 By SUSAN DOWD STONEFeatured BloggerWhile we await positive action from our nation’s legislators on The Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act, questions arise. Some have wondered why we need a federal bill in place when we have so many well known organizations and individuals devoted to ending the ignorance of pregnancy related mood disorders. Hasn’t this issue received enough attention these past three years? With all the media, famous advocates and well respected leaders speaking out, the growing science and research substantiating the seriousness of untreated maternal depression – aren’t we done? Aren’t many thousands more people now aware of postpartum depression, thanks to the CBS Cares public service campaign, news stories on every major and local network, the power of the blogosphere, conferences, state’s responses and organizations like PSI, EmpowHer and many others? And aren’t there now more services and treatment options available as mothers face what is often th...

postpartum haemorrhage,background and management
2008-04-08 22:16:00 Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a potentially life-threatening complication of both vaginal and cesarean delivery. Traditionally, PPH was defined as blood loss greater than 500 mL in a vaginal delivery and greater than 1,000 mL in a cesarean delivery. However, studies have revealed that an uncomplicated delivery often results in blood loss of more than 500 mL without any compromise of the mother's condition. These findings resulted in adoption of a broader definition for PPH. Any bleeding that results in signs and symptoms of hemodynamic instability, or bleeding that could result in hemodynamic instability if untreated, is considered PPH. Blood loss of greater than 1,000 mL with an vaginal delivery or a decrease in postpartum hematocrit level greater than 10% of the prenatal value also can be considered PPH. Temporally, PPH can be divided into (1) early PPH that occurs within 24 hours after delivery and (2) late PPH that occurs 24 hours to 6 weeks after delivery. Frequency United ...

Yoga to avoid postpartum depression
2008-02-15 05:51:00 Here’s a cool little project I got to work on the other day. Sona Dimidjian, a psych professor at CU Boulder, is doing research into how yoga helps pregnant women avoid postpartum depression, which apparently 10 to 15 percent of new mothers experience. That’s a surprisingly large number! As part of a community outreach program, Sona asked me if I’d be willing to photograph a pregnant yoga instructor doing a series of poses, with the end goal of publishing the photos into a poster and an e-book. She is also considering making a small bound book to give to them women who are taking part in her clinical study. I figured this was a really awesome opportunity to help people out, so I cruised down to Boulder a few days ago and we did the shoot in Sona’s living room. Huge props to our instructor — I have no idea how she does it! Her baby’s going to be a yoga master! The shots for the poster were more for illustration than anything else, but I did snag a...

Is It The Baby Blues or Postpartum Depression?
2007-10-24 13:14:00 Remember living without the words "stressed" and "depressed?" It seems that most of society has now become so aware of the conditions, that even our teenagers complain of being stressed or depressed, rather than "stretched for time" or just plain "sad." According to Lucy Puryear M.D., author of Understanding Your Moods When You're Expecting, and witness for the defense in the trial of Andrea Yates, approximately 19 million Americans experience a depressive episode each year. Women seem to be the most effected by true clinical depression, the number estimated at 12 million yearly. One in four will have a depressive episode during her lifetime, some experiencing postpartum depression. Though all women experience hormonal changes, an estimated 80% of new mothers feel the "Baby Blues." 10% of those women will continue into postpartum depression. What's the difference?Bab...

Postpartum Depression is Widespread and Preventable
1970-01-01 00:59:00 Postpartum depression has gotten a lot of press recently, in part due to Brooke Shields?s book and Tom Cruise?s misinformed comments about it. A certain mystery seems to surround this illness. Women fear it, understandably. Just at the time when they most need their strength and sense of wellbeing, after the birth of a baby, a dark mood can move in and take over. Equally mysterious, because somehow they don?t get adequately discussed, are methods of treatment--and even methods of prevention. I will talk about these, but first, here?s what postpartum depression can look like.
