We’re almost through with a week-long rally for PPD and PPA Awareness. I couldn’t be more pleased with the support y’all have given me and the women who have been brave enough to share their stories this week. I have some final thoughts, but since we’re going to have nine days of stories, I’ll save my closing thoughts for tomorrow.
Today’s Guest Blogger is a good e-friend of mine. Tri and I met on “Babies on the Brain” on The Bump when we were both still trying to conceive our little guys. I got pregnant with Joshua and then, about a month later, she got pregnant with Christopher. Tri’s story is like that of many moms–she didn’t realize right away that she was experiencing PPD.

This entire time I wondered, is this PPD or am I just having a hard time balancing work and baby? That must be it….this is completely normal. Being a working mom is hard, right?
Wow. I am constantly amazed at how many of these stories sound like mine (especially the ones written by teachers!) Thanks for sharing, Tri. I also was under the impression I shouldn't say anything on my blog because someone might see it. Someone did…so did everyone else. I've gotten nothing but positive support and I hope you do too!
Thanks, Miranda, for posting all of these (I say that every time, but each time I read, I am grateful).
Hugs to both my new teacher e-friends!
So fascinating how each of our stories are different yet with many common threads. Good for you to get the help you need. I agree there is no shame in our experiences. I am super vocal about it and share my story with anyone who will listen!
