Adaeze Yobo shares her story on Postpartum depression as she reaches out to new mums

Ex-beauty queen and mom of three shares her story on Postpartum depression as she reaches out to new mums
Postpartum depression can occur anytime in a women’s life after she has a baby.
After 3 kids, Adaeze Yobo has decided to share her battle with postpartum depression to empower women to open up about their struggles and seek help.

Taking to Instagram to share her story, she said:

I had what i like to call “The worst kind of Postpartum depression” after my first child, it lasted for more than a year. I thought I’ll never fully recover, be happy or get my self back again, i was in a very dark place at a point in my life that was supposed to be the happiest. Some days I’ll go into the restroom and cry out, once I’m done ill feel relieved, wipe my face and continue what I was doing like nothing happened. There was no particular reason for the cry, it just comes like a rushing wave, fills up my chest and I’ll run to let it out.
I didn’t know there was a name to what I was going through because back then in Nigeria, the idea of PPD/PND was almost Non-existent. I never told anyone for the fear of being judged or people close to me making assumptions about my sanity. Probably why my PPD lasted that long. I can’t imagine how i would have survived that now. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Going through all that transformation & mental break down in the middle of a Global pandemic? 😢 ● ● ● If you’re a partner / spouse to a new mom or you’re a dad to be, pls educate yourself about; Baby blues
Postpartum depression & Postpartum psychosis.
There’s so much information online to guide you in making life easier for both you, baby & mom.
Remember not to compare one mom to another mom. Every woman is diff, every pregnancy is diff & every mom is different.
P.S ~ i also experienced Baby blues for a week with my last child, Lexine. But because of my experience with PPD & so much research i had done, i knew what i was expecting, when i was expecting it and what to do. i opened up to my family around me and we were able to manage it when it came.
Tag any new mom you know & reach out to the ones that are not on social media and let them know it’ll get easier.

This is what so many new mums go through but they keep quiet. Thanks, @adaezeyobo for speaking up. This is what we also do @postpartumbluesng, we create awareness about postpartum depression and postpartum blues. We also provide support to mums in general. Love and light💕

This is so thoughtful. People with one mental health challenge or the other might find it more difficult with this lockdown. The 24hrs lockdown will make it harder for them to distract themselves and catch a break. May God see you through, please talk to family and friends around or on phone.🙏

📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST. Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣
