The Postpartum Journey

This is the story of a woman who struggles with her feelings after the birth of her baby. The story is based on real life experiences of women who shared their stories. The quotes in the story are real quotes. The names and communities in which these women and their partners live have been changed to protect their privacy.

The story tells of a woman’s journey of becoming a mother, the struggles that came with it and ways she found support. We suggest that you read the 8 sections of her journey in order. You will find useful resources along the way that you may relate to, including videos of parents speaking about their own experiences at the bottom of each page.
