Once during a filmed interview, a reporter asked me to candidly discuss prenatal and postnatal "fatigue," "forgetfulness" and general, mental state. Immediately after the question was posed, I recalled (in my own mind) that 10-15% (possibly more) of women experience postnatal depression. With this fact in mind, I found the line of questioning quite difficult to respond to with jovial regards. After 6+ years of running Bella Bellies, I have personally witnessed women triumph over some of the most debilitating mental strains that range from: postpartum depression, fatigue, anxiety, isolation and more. The strength required to stay proactive with health and well-being is something I have the utmost respect for. When referring the growing Bella Bellies Community to a skilled health care provider, I am extremely fastidious in choosing a professional who specializes in maternal well-being, and one I feel comfortable referring women to. This is why I am so excited to write one of my references Psychiatrist, Dr. Linda Chuang will be joining the Bella Bellies Postnatal Workshop for a Q & A.
