SO often, it's hard to sympathize adequately when you've not been through the experience. I had three children and no idea what people were talking about PPD or those afterbirth pains either. I was up and at 'em and happy as a lark! - - - then, after the birth of my fourth - - - whoa! I heard it was worse the more children you'd had. That was 32 years ago :) But I know now, you are one who can truly minister to a young mother having troubles! Thank you for sharing. I pray your testimony will be read by that sweet mama out there who really needs it! I'm a singer lady, God gives me songs and one comes to mind - a part of it anyway - "When troubles come my way, and trials fill my day, I will trust in You - because I know You are on the throne, because I know You are in control. Because I know how much You love me....that You're always thinking of me... I will trust in You." How blessed are we to have His promises and love?

I know many people have and are suffering with postpartum depression and anxiety and you can be such a wonderful encouragement to them! I didn't suffer with it but like Teresa, I (and hubby) struggled with lack of sleep. We had sooo much trouble getting our first child to sleep, we would take turns in walking her, or pushing her around in the pram when she got too heavy, but the other one would have to take over when one of us would literally begin to fall asleep on their feet!! <br />I absolutely LOVED your book Amber and look forward to sharing the review with everyone this week!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368483978360906629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-1560792372231627372014-07-13T19:41:54.871-04:002014-07-13T19:41:54.871-04:00Hi Amber,

I'm so sorry you had to go through such a terribly dark time. My problem was much the same as Teresa's. Just lack of slumber b/c baby didn't sleep, and that overwhelming feeling. I remember that first night of sleeping all night long. Ahhh... <br /><br />But sleep deprivation in itself can cause depression, whether it's after having a baby or at other times.
