tj pregnant

 

Before I gave birth to my 1st child in 2008, I gave my husband a list of postpartum symptoms to watch out for…just in case.

 

So about 3 weeks after Violet was born, he knew exactly what was going on when he found me crying in the shower, “Violet hates me. You hate me!”.

 

He immediately pointed out “irrational feelings” on the hard copy list I had given him, and soon after I reached out for some extra support.

 

In this morning’s ‘Hot Topics’, actress Hayden Panettiere is entering treatment for postpartum depression. She’s asking the media for privacy. But back in September, she spoke on LIVE! with Kelly & Michael about the need for extra care for women who have just done something that “no man can do on this planet”.
