Postpartum depression seems to still be such a taboo subject. And as someone who has suffered from postpartum depression for two out of three of my children I think it is something we all should be talking about more instead of sweeping under the rug.
With my second son my depression was the worst. I had a 26 hour long labor trying desperately to avoid a c-section a second time, and after a failedVBAC try I felt exactly how most do… like a failure. I was a failure as a woman, I couldn’t give birth to my son. Yes… it was about me. Which there is nothing wrong with, although so many people make women feel like their feelings should be discounted, which is a huge problem.
