postpartum
Storyboard Text
- I'm worried that this will have an impact on my family, especially my baby. What should I do?
- Nurse Franz, I'm so grateful for this information.
- Nurse, After I gave birth to my baby last week, I've been experiencing anxiety. I've been crying a lot, always feel alone, and I am uncomfortable with my body. What should I know about this disorder?
- It is also important to make time for rest and for yourself. Setting aside some time each week for me time might be beneficial. You can use this time to unwind even if you can only leave the house in between nursing sessions. Take a stroll, nap, watch a movie, do yoga, or meditate.
- You are very welcome, miss. Just always remember that I truly understand what you are going through right now. Please don't be afraid to seek for help if you need it.
- Usually starting two to three days after delivery, this condition can extend for up to two weeks.
- However, there is an immediate remedy that can help you control your symptoms and strengthen your relationship with your child.
- Along with emotional issues, you might experience physical ailments like a sore calf, increased uterine or perineal pain, or a mild headache.
- The first step is to maintain a healthy diet and exercise when you can. Perhaps the simplest approach to move your body and get some fresh air is to stroll around with your baby in a stroller. Establishing the habit of eating healthy foods can also improve your mood and provide your body with the nutrition it requires.
- Miss, you are going through a postpartum complication, which is common in women like you who have recently given birth.
- Sharing your emotions with others can improve your mood. If you routinely spoke with other mothers who had previously suffered PPD, you would have lower levels of depression than other new mothers. So make an effort to get out or at the very least engage in conversation with moms and other adults for support. Last but not least, if you experience depressive symptoms after giving birth, it's a good idea to schedule a visit with your doctor, especially if they persist for more than a few weeks or worsen with time.
- Increasing your consumption of omega-3 fatty acids like DHA is also a smart idea right now. An excellent dietary source of DHA is seafood. Flaxseed oil is another excellent source if you're a vegetarian. Your chance of having PPD may well be reduced by breastfeeding. But in the end, go with the feeding strategy that ’s comfortable to you.
- I would definitely do that. Thank you.
- Okay miss. I'll go ahead now. Call me when you need something.
