Childbirth is too romanticized in the media I think. It can create unrealistic expectations that set one up for inability to deal with complications. Just one factor in the situation.

This is so true! I had an anything but normal birth from going 18 days overdue, to them calling me the morning of my scheduled delivery to come have my baby. I never dilated past a 1 even after having my water broken, and pitocin pumping., 2 epidurals since 1 failed, and his heart rate dropped in the 50's twice, and they wouldn't tell me he was in danger, just had me contorting into odd positions till the beeping stopped. All this for my "beautiful delivery" to end up in a semi emergency c-section. After which I went into major shock and couldn't even hold my baby till after midnight when I finally woke up. I had him at 7:39 PM. I have zero pictures of my son being born because of all the chaos upto my c-section, and them whisking my husband away to get suited up. I'll never forget what an absolutely horrible experience such a beautiful thing should have been, and was ALWAYS hyped up to be this amazingly wonderful experience for us women.

We do need more men like him. Many people don’t understand how much a mother sacrifices mentally and physically after birth.

When my grandmother lost a child in 1976, she was told to get back on the field and stop slacking off. She would dig, harvest, carry heavy baskets, just to get home in the evening and clean and cook for the next day and then get up bright and early to hand wash clothes. This is last century Europe. She never got a word of encouragement or a time to rest and grieve. Thankfully she never harmed herself because she was raised with a mentality that things just had to be that way. If it was me, I don't think I would have had the courage. I know this was slightly off topic, it just makes me sad that women's struggles are so often overlooked. My grandma is a warrior. Thank you Steven.

It’s scary when you start writing goodbye letters to your two tiny babies. It’s real. It’s scary. It’s chemical. And traumatic births can be a factor, which I experienced during that delivery. Moms, PPD does go away. But please find someone who can talk you through those dark times so you don’t feel so utterly alone. I love you all.

One thing I did enjoy was video games hed let me play mindless video games a couple hours a day kinda like a self care and he would take care of the kids. He would continue to constantly tell me he loves me and I'm beautiful. He didnt even trust me alone in the shower with my razors so he would hop right in with me and just having his constant support eventually I started to believe his words and slowly started to feel better and it helped too when the twins started sleeping longer at night and would sleep 7 hours straight at night and with mama getting more sleep mama was happier

Dolores Chavarria I felt the same way after giving birth to my son. You are strong.

I feel so sorry for that mother. She thought that the umbilical cord was her fault but it wasn’t. I really feel that’s what contributed to a lot of her depression. His daughter loves her mom and the husband still loved her. What a great man and what a great child!

When we had our daughter in 1982, services like this weren’t even dreamed about. Myself and others were basically told “get up and get over it, you’ve got a healthy baby stop being the baby” This is a godsend to women everywhere because only another woman can understand the feelings. May God always bless Alexis, Steven and Adrianna.

Nothing much changed and the place where I live in doesn't have much medical help as such, and even I m not in a position to afford if found any..so trying myself to deal with myself but still on and off, sometimes I feel disconnected.. what brings me light is just the smile of my pure innocent baby which reminds me to fight frm depression, which is hard to deal .. but I decided to fight for myself

I suffered with postpartum after my son was born 29 years ago. Thank God it lasted a week, but it was debilitating. I was also lucky that I didn’t experience it with my daughter 3 years later. God bless this man!!

After I gave birth to my son, I ended up hating him, my husband, and myself. I put him in his crib and just let him scream while I sat in another room, bawling my eyes out because I felt alone, and frankly felt like I was loosing control and loosing my mind all at the same time. I thought about suicide more than once, but I never told anyone. I needed help, and I didn’t have any. I think a men should be allowed a maternity leave period as well. I needed my husband home with me, but he was back at work 3 days after we had our son.

Sadly, America, & it's profit-driven healthcare, is not the safest place for mental illness sufferers. Paternity leave is granted in those countries that actually care and that, usually, have a socialized healthcare system within the nation. As Americans we're supposed to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. How wrong we are to expect such a thing in times of need, imo! We all need human support...throughout our lives.

A girl that lives in my city gave birth maybe last week or so, after some time she hated that kid and couldn't even hold him, the next morning that girl hung her self in her own house alone she was only 20 yo, we need more centers to help women with mental health. this incident happened in ALGERIA

How can you get a center like this everywhere? It's definitely needed.

I had my little girl 19 months ago and I still suffer with post natal depression. I am on meds but it is the most debilitating thing ever. I had a traumatic pregnancy and delivery which also made me develop OCD. Some days it feels tough. It can be very isolating. People are very quick to judge. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Intrusive thoughts, not feeling good enough the list goes on. Everywhere in the world should have facilities like this. Your little girl is very lucky to have a great father like you.

In the 1970s after delivering my second son, I went thru post partum psychosis and depression. My husband took me to the ER several times where I cried and begged to be admitted because I feared I was going to hurt myself or my new baby. They didn’t believe me or take it seriously and kept sending me back home! By the grace of God I got thru it with medication and a supportive family ! I’m so glad the medical profession is finally paying attention and becoming proactive!

IMO, this is why this problem is so bad here. In America, mothers are expected to be able to handle it all alone. And we feel like failures when we can't

PPD is probably one of the saddest things I've felt. I was a teen mom and lived with my baby daddy. Every time I would be left alone with her for more than maybe 30 minutes, I would cry about how I brought such a pure human being to this terrible world, and that I would love to leave it but I would cry more knowing that I couldn't leave it because then who would take care of my baby, and then she would grow up not knowing her mom. I felt so useless as a wife, a mother, and just a human in general. I would always make up excuses for my mom to come to my house to visit me or anyone just so I wouldn't be home alone until my husband got home. And if he was late even 5 minutes, I would start bawling again. It was the probably one of the worst times 🤦🏻‍♀️

I am a survivor. Every effort made is an effort made. Congratulations for helping the world when most just suffer in silence. God bless you and your daughter.

Such a sad story but the outcome is wonderful. What a wonderful man to go this far to do this for other women. God bless him and his family.

As a mother that has had and still has ppd, we definitely need more programs like this. When my three year old was 3 months I had a failed suicide attempt, I was there for two weeks, they let me go and that was it, when my 2 year old was 4 months i tried again, and again they didn't do much besides let me out and be on my way. I now have a eight month old with no more attempts but I had to fight tooth and nail to find people that took me seriously and wanted to help and now I'm finally doing alright on medications and vigorous counseling. This man is doing great things

I lost my husband to suicide in 1996, so I feel your pain. My children were 6 and 8 when daddy died, but I made it a point to never keep the cause of his death under wraps. I wanted them to understand that depression and mental illness can be life-threatening, just as any major disorder involving our vital organs. I also wanted them to know how much their daddy loved them. It's not an easy road to walk, but I think you are doing an amazing job at raising your daughter to know the mother she lost at such a young age. Blessings.

This is beautiful. What a wonderful legacy to continue on in your wife's memory.

What a inspiring man, sorry that you lost your wife. Your daughter is beautiful just like her mommy.

WOW, I'm so sorry I had my daughter, and after 2 weeks I sat on the couch holding my daughter, and cried after about 30 minutes, I was over and done, with my son it was a week after he was born post partum, was a bit longer with him but never thought of taking my own life, I believe the Dr. should talk to the woman before birth about postpartum depression, mine never did. Before the women leave the hospital, they should have a schedule appointment with a counselor, how sad to die because you had a baby.

Having a baby is emotionally draining. Sometimes the stress and sleep deprivation is too much to handle that women end up killing the baby instead of themselves. Either way is so devastating. That is why it is so important to get help asap if you feel like killing yourself or the baby.

I developed post partum psychosis with both of my children and I wish more people talked about the mental health part of pregnancy and motherhood. I hope women know that it's OK to reach out for help and it's nothing to be embarrassed about! We need to bring more attention to these issues. The more open and honest people are and the more people see that there's nothing wrong with getting help. We can't be good parents if we aren't healthy and happy and mental health is NOT something to hide from!

What an amazing way to channel his grief and honor his daughter's loss.

Sooooo happy to see this change. I had my first baby in Pittsburgh. And 3 days after I knew something wasn’t right, this wasn’t just the postpartum blues. We went back to the drs office, and told them how I was feeling and I felt it was an extreme and that I needed help. Which wasn’t easy for me to do. And they told me to wait it out. Literally the words she said to me. I felt very uncared for and my postpartum depression and anxiety spiraled. My husband and I were alone in the city and he had to go right back to work, actually the day after we came home from the hospital. I remember the feeling of anxiety being too intense to live when I was alone with my baby. I would sob and cry all night and just clench my chest because it felt like it was going to explode. I had a fantasy of just taking my husbands service weapon and committing suicide in our bathroom after calling for help for my newborn. And every day that fantasy grew into a plan. I’m so thankful for the day that I just had a complete mental break and was unable to stop sobbing and screaming and crying because I felt so worthless that being around my child made me feel so much anxiety and I loved him so much he deserved better. So I told my husband about all of what actually was happening, and he quit his job didn’t leave me alone again for a long while, we moved home he gave up his career to get me safe from myself. It took along time and will power to recover from it without medical professionals. So thankful for him or I would not be here today.

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen 😭 I’m in therapy for panic attacks/ptsd/and anxiety and I get nervous thinking about having a baby for this exact reason. But I have so much confidence even if I do go through this I know there are resources and tools and I’m not alone in this. You are such a strong and amazing man for creating this place 🖤

After months and months with the help of my husband, 2 therapists, 1 nurse and my dr i survived post partum suicide. It was very tough and without these supports and people believing me I know i wouldn’t be here.

Mental health awareness has improved over the years but there’s still a long way to go and progress is slow especially in the area of postpartum depression
