This morning while nursing Cameron at the appointed hour of 630a (he’s my little alarm clock!) I checked my email via my PDA and got a lovely surprise in my email from Google Alerts, letting me know that Karen Kleiman had posted about me at her blog. I am honoured to be mentioned by the woman who, through her book, What am I thinking: Having a Baby after Postpartum Depression, was the reason I started this blog to begin with.
Thank you Karen for the honor and for all your hard work in the PPD world!
Karen really is awesome, and has been wonderful to me as I’ve worked to develop my PPD blog.
I also had an “unexpected blessing” when I found myself pregnant with my fourth baby several years after my third, when my husband and I thought we were done. I was terrified that I’d go through the same horrible PPD experience that I did with my third baby, but being educated on PPD and knowing what to expect really worked in my favor.
It has been nearly 7 years since my fourth child was born, and I’m dedicated to spreading awareness of PPD along with my friends at PSI and the AZ Coalition for Postpartum Wellness. I know from my experience that PPD can be prevented, and I keep trying to spread the word so other women don’t have to suffer the way so many of us have.
Kudos to you for your great blog. Keep it up!!
Warm regards,
Kristin
