Some women go into severe depression or extreme happiness within hours of delivering the baby. Some cry incessantly, others start muttering irrelevantly, some remain numb in a state of shock, and yet others may lose control over bowel movements. This may continue for a few hours. Doctors do not give any specific reason for this unpredictable state. Various explanations are given but none of them have been scientifically proved. However, very few women go into severe postpartum depression and it is usually not anything to worry about. Of course, this kind of unpredictable behaviors of the mother’s and their state of mind is the result of sudden demise or success of long and strong expectations, they had been framing since months.
This discussion is in no way intended to scare young couples, because most babies are born normal, after full term, and without any major complications. But while ignorance is bliss, knowledge is far more rewarding.
