When I gave birth to my firstborn in 2018 I struggled with postpartum depression on a very immediate and intense level. You can read about it here, but the short version is that my birth story involved a long labor followed by an emergency c-section which left me to deal with lots of trauma, physical recovery, and confusion. In my first month I dealt with intense lower back pain, a relentless rash (PUPPS), and limited mobility while my baby dealt with multiple episodes of thrush and a late diagnoses of reflux. We were miserable during what I expected to be the happiest time of my life.

I love how God uses our stories for His glory! I love how He meets us exactly where we are! I’m reading the first post to reading this one they are powerful testament to who God is and how important it is to accept help from those who He give us who love us! Such an answer to prayers that this time has been so different!!! 💙
