I spent most of my life imagining motherhood. I couldn't imagine anything else - not a career, not travel, not study - just motherhood.
What I didn't imagine, however, was a breakdown that sent me to a psychiatric hospital only days after my son's birth.
I’d never felt so scared or alone in my life. I’d never felt so ashamed.
But to my surprise, I was far more scared to be discharged than I was to be admitted - something I did not think possible when I sobbed through the hospital doors with my one week old baby in my arms.
Join me as I share part two of my story where I talk about how my postpartum unfolded - in all the many ways I could never have imagined.
FOLLOW the podcast on Instagram and Facebook @perinatalstoriesaustralia for more maternal mental health stories, education, advocacy, and community.
PLEASE leave a review or rating on your favourite apps or consider buying me a coffee (well, preferably a tea!) ;)
