My Blog

I am always keen to support new ventures regarding new mothers (and those starting again!), so I was thrilled to be invited by a new website MumsWork, to write a blog for them. Their bright, new website is  ‘a brand new resource for mums in business and mums returning to work.’  They aim to support, inspire and empower women to be the best possible version of themselves.

This is the start of my article, ‘Recognising the signs of postnatal depression’, for them

Following the birth of a baby our society expects us to be aware of the physical changes and possible treatments needed, for example, if stitches were needed there will be subsequent caution about infection or lifting. Yet, we still are not giving as much attention to the mental health of new mothers as we need to.  Usually expectations are that ‘you will be fine’ and other than feeling tired through perceived loss of sleep, a new mother will be ‘back to normal’ within a few weeks.

Please follow this link to read the rest.

Take a few moments to have a look at the new website. I can see that a great deal of work has gone into it already – well done!

Whom do you know that it could be useful for?
