When Postpartum Packs a Punch by Motherhood Radio - Dr Christina Hibbert published on 2017-09-04T16:23:48Z Having a baby is supposed to be the happiest time of our lives. Right? For many new moms, however, postpartum can pack a punch, with emotional changes ranging from the Baby Blues to depression to anxiety to, in extreme cases, psychosis. What role does trauma, including birth trauma, play in postpartum mental health? How do postpartum emotional changes impact dads and partners? And how can we overcome stigma to find the help we need after the birth of a baby? My guest, Kristina Cowan (http://www.kristinacowan.com), author of the powerful new book, "When Postpartum Packs a Punch," and I are discussing how to navigate the postpartum period, where to turn for support, and how to reach out and let that support and help in.
