Arrival of the baby – joys and sorrows

Getting pregnant is sometimes considered a tough job by some parents as they fail to pinpoint the exact date of ovulation and invariably miss the chance to conceive. Some parents may also fail to conceive due to medical problem affecting either the wife or the husband. To avoid such heartbreaks one should do a complete medical checkup before they try their hand at getting pregnant. A successful conception is connected with the arrival of a healthy newborn baby if all care and medications have been taken properly as per the doctor’s advice. The arrival of the newborn baby sends the house into a tizzy as the atmosphere is filled with sounds of joy and happiness and at times tension when something is amiss with the child.

Postpartum depression affects new mothers immediately after they give birth to their baby. The general symptoms include hyper anxiety and fatigue accompanied by crying episodes and insomnia. This condition is caused due to the change in the hormone levels in the body of the woman during the time of pregnancy. It is shown that about 1 in every 5 mothers experience this condition while relatively few actually seek professional help to overcome this condition.
