Product Description

Real help, from women who've been there.

After she gave birth to a bouncing baby girl, Sandra Poulin felt like crying. And she did-for months. But they weren't happy tears-Sandra felt worthless, could hardly sleep, and had thoughts of death. Like too many mothers around the world, Sandra had no idea that this common but baffling condition had a name: postpartum depression.

What kind of mother, people wonder, could feel depressed after having been so richly blessed with a baby? The answer: every kind, women from all walks of life, from all over the world, young and old. And here, in a unique collection, are their stories of battles with PPD, with intimate details about the symptoms, the struggles, and the strategies that helped them emerge victorious.

Written by mothers, for mothers, this collection is an uplifting, enlightening- and perhaps even lifesaving- book.

About the Author

Sandra Poulin has suffered from postpartum depression and, after her recovery seven years ago, started her mission to help women everywhere. She is a marketing specialist for a radio station.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential to recovery, July 16, 2006
This review is from: The Mother-to-Mother Postpartum Depression Support Book (Paperback)
This book has been essential to my recovery from postpartum depression (PPD). Hearing from doctors and friends that I'd be OK was one thing; hearing it from real women who've been through the darkness and back was quite another, and had much more impact. I was amazed what a kickstart this book gave to my recovery, and I hope every women grappling with PPD has the opportunity to read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every struggling postpartum mom should have this book, August 11, 2006
By Meri Levy (Lafayette, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Mother-to-Mother Postpartum Depression Support Book (Paperback)
This book contains the stories of dozens of women who have traveled the road through PPD and back and lived to tell the tale. Having suffered myself from postpartum depression and anxiety in the past, the book inspired me to write down my own story, which has helped me put closure on that painful time.

I wish I had this book when I was suffering myself. I see myself reflected in so many of the stories, and the fact that these women have put their illness behind them would have helped me to have hope, which is so difficult to maintain when you are depressed. So many moms feel alone and isolated with PPD, and don't even have a name for their condition, often until years later. Hopefully this book will shed some light on this misunderstood and under-diagnosed illness, so that more women can get the support and treatment they need.

Sandra, your book is an incredible gift to both the women you tell their stories in it, and the women who will read it and receive comfort. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars So grateful ..., February 8, 2007
By C. Millen (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Mother-to-Mother Postpartum Depression Support Book (Paperback)
No other material on PPD that I have read compares to this offering. The stories are from REAL mothers who REALLY went through PPD and other mood disorders. I wish I had had this book when I went through PPD and OCD in 2000 with my first child. The feelings I get when reading it are... I'm not alone! I'm not abnormal! Other women feel as I did! It has been such a relief to me to read this book and has really helped my healing road with depression, specifically PPD.

I found this book very helpful when I was first diagnosed with PPD. Knowing there were other women out there that had experienced similar feelings made me feel not quite so alone.
