I already wrote about postpartum depression once before, but I want to mention it again for two reasons:
- I have a lot of friends who just recently had babies (not their first), and let me just tell you PPD is a whole different beast with subsequent births for a myriad of reasons.
- In dealing with my own depression, I have relearned the value in speaking up and showing up.
