3. My Postpartum Journey

In this episode:

• I was of the mindset that if you were going to have any sort of PPD that you would experience it immediately, but that's a MYTH
• When Miles was about 4 months old I decided I needed to get help because I had been experiencing so many things that weren't normal for me 
• I started having more bad days than good so that's when I realized I needed to talk to my doctor and get on medication 
• I wanted to "cure" myself without medication and the fact that I had to resort to that almost made me feel OUT OF CONTROL 
• Asking for help takes STRENGTH
• If you're in the military speak with your key spouses, unit doctors, or another spouse in the squadron to see what resources are available 
• Resources I took advantage of 

Mantra: There is no such thing as a perfect mom, but I am the perfect mom for my child.
