Be aware of the symptoms of postpartum depression – Postpartum depression is quite common owing to a new, restricted and tired lifestyle a mother goes through. The challenges of having a new tiny life in your arms who is completely dependent on you for their growth along with some very new pains and weight gains can have an immense impact on your mental well-being. New mothers should not hesitate to ask for help when needed. Don’t be a hero and try not to do everything on your own. It is ok! Ask for help and assistance from your family members.
