Postpartum Depression After Having Twins

Tuesday November 4, 2008
The period of time following a multiple birth is a complicated time. Even under the best circumstances, mothers of multiples are recovering from the physical toll of a double pregnancy and delivery, not to mention the ravages of a multiple dose of hormones. Add in complications like an emergency c-section, preterm delivery or premature babies, and stress really builds. In the midst of caring for their babies, moms must keep an eye on their own well-being. Postpartum depression is a real issue for moms of multiples. It's important to know the signs and symptoms and seek solutions before it escalates into a damaging situation.
