Like it isn’t hard enough for a woman to carry a child in the womb for nearly 10 months and then to finally go through an even more excruciating task, is something that is quite overwhelming, but unfortunately it doesn’t stop there, after a mother has given birth, they may experience something known as Postnatal depression, in which they feel unimportant and disliked by others amongst many other emotions.

One of the reasons being, that for nine months to get the constant care and attention from the people around them and then when they are suddenly no longer pregnant, they feel a drastic change in themselves and those around them. While that may not be strictly wrong it is something that affects them in a great manner.
