20 New Moms Share Their First Thoughts Right After Giving Birth
Having a baby is a nearly year-long endeavor that forever changes the way a woman views herself and the world. After giving birth, women go through a flurry of emotions ranging from erratic joy to postpartum depression. While mothers around the world can give advice to expectant moms-to-be, every woman is different and will have different thoughts the moment their child enters the world.

Postpartum depression affects millions of new moms and they need all the support they can get.
