I felt this was important to share because of the postpartum depression discussion. There are many new mothers who are afraid to discuss it, and since I know several people expecting their first child between now and the next few months, I’m sharing in the hopes they read this and are put at ease, just in case.

I wish there was one available for Fibromyalgia.
