Description

Postnatal Depression or What
Do I think I became depressed probably, yes. I was not rigid or had any fixed plans and was actually quite relaxed about the whole affair. I was positive keen and energetic but struggled and can easily tell you that I found being a new mother one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.

This book is aimed at working mothers and is about my own experience and highlights the points that I found amusing, traumatic and also how family, friends and professionals including the group to which I belong, reacted.
Through this book I would hope to prevent a new parent from feeling that isolation and despair which can develop when you feel that your own experience is the norm and that it is just you who cannot cope.
