Post partum Depression & Anxiety

I've been thinking about PPD/A a lot again recently. I mainly wonder when I'll be "over it." I'm amazed at the difference in how much better I feel, and how I'm more like myself. I'm grateful to all the support my husband has given me. I wanted to share a few links with everyone reading.

PPD/A affects 2 out of 10 women

It is the number 1 complication of pregnancy/childbirth

It can affect moms, dads & adoptive parents

It can hit you before, during or after pregnancy. You may have had a miscarriage or a still birth.

Speak Up when You're Down

PPD/A does not always show up as the mom who's in bed with her covers pulled up over her head & messy hair. No one knew I needed help - I always had my hair done, my make up on, my girls dressed in coordinating outfits. Its important for friends & family of pregnant women to be on the look out for PPD/A. . . its not always what you think it is.

Nursing Cover Up Specs

Each one is hand cut and sewn and each is unique. Although they are approximately the same size, sizes do vary slightly, with the smallest size being 20" x 30." The neck strap is adjustable. In the corner you'll find a piece of soft fabric (terrycloth, flannel, or jersey knit) that serves as a pocket and as a burp cloth.

Check out the fabric collection in my etsy shop - just follow the link. Once you're there, choose your item & check out. You'll need to create an account name if you haven't shopped etsy before.

If you're in Yakima, I'll deliver it free. Otherwise, postage is approx $4.

And let me know if you prefer a different fabric than the ones shown. If you check the sold items you'll see what I've done in the past.
