Every mom in Minnesota needs to know about this resource. Postpartum Support MN is a wonderful organization that exists to help moms find the help that they need in the postpartum period. Why do mom's need to know this? Because postpartum depression is very common these days. What exactly IS postpartum depression? It can come out in lots of ways-- sadness, not bonding well with baby, anger, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed.... If you are really being real with yourself-- every mom probably experiences at least some of these feelings on SOME level.
PPSM has a mission that every mom experience the OPTIMAL levels of emotional health and well-being after having a baby. Who wouldn't want that?
Please check them out and use them as a resource.
They also have a warm line-- leave a message and someone will get back to you with a resource, professional or just a listening ear within 24 hours. It's simple. Every mom AND dad deserves this kind of support postpartum.
I also want to make note-- it IS fairly common for partners to experience some postpartum depression as well. This is also a huge transition for them. They can also use this for support!
