Now this one is low hanging fruit. Or the low that comes after the fruit has left the tree. Post partum depression refers to the psychological lows that follow parturition, or parity, or in other words, giving birth. Despite appearances, there’s no “parting” in parturience. Partum is related to L. parere, “to bear”, ultimately from PIE root * pere- (1) “produce, procure, bring forward, bring forth.” Physical separation from the child you carried is not sweet sorrow to these folks.

maternal glow forum OP: I don’t want to sound Nasty but on times I feel as if Id rather be pregnant, I think I miss pregnancy and labor more than being a mum on times. Just feeling the kicks and having a secret only me and baby inside knows the feeling of closeness, the kicks, appointments and scans made me feel more excited because I was always wondering what my little one would look like, I feel as if I’ve bonded more with my bump than I have with baby, will my feeling for a bump dissapear and will my feelings for my little one come soon, trying to shake it but it just doesn’t leave my mind
R: I think that sounds really normal. your whole life just changed and you’re settling in. I’m sure the bonding will come. just be aware of what post parting depression is
