Moms Who Have Emergency C-Sections At Higher Risk For Postpartum Depression – Mothering

By

“For those mothers, the process itself can be more traumatic because they’re emergent and recovery can be difficult as well. They found that unplanned/emergent c-sections can have even more negative a psychological impact because not only are they physically impacting, they are mentally exhausting due to the loss of control and unmet expectations about their births.

“Because of the mental and physical toll, researchers believe it makes sense that new mothers with emergent surgeries are at increased risk for postpartum depression, and doctors and providers should be sure to follow up with their patients frequently to monitor postpartum depression symptoms.”

More evacuations! More flooding. The Missouri is expected to continue rising.

If you are near your estimated due date, have a plan of action. Know alternate routes to your place of birth. Consider staying in a hotel near your place of birth if there is a potential for your routes to get flooded. Have emergency gear in your car in case you get stuck somewhere.

Please stay safe everybody and keep an eye on emergency alerts.
