Sarah Baldock

In this episode, I open up about my personal experience with postnatal depression (PND) as a new mother. I share the highs and lows of early motherhood, from the excitement of welcoming my first child to the unexpected challenges that arose.

I delve into the pressures I put on myself to be the perfect mum, from breastfeeding struggles to maintaining a spotless home. You'll hear about the subtle signs of PND and the moment I realised that something wasn't quite right.

I discuss my path to recognition and recovery, emphasising the importance of seeking help, even when it seems like everything is fine on the surface. My journey serves as a reminder that acknowledging and addressing PND is essential.

Whether you're a new parent or want to understand the challenges of early motherhood better, this episode provides insights, support, and encouragement. Remember, you're never alone in this journey, and seeking help is a courageous step towards being the best parent you can be. Join me as I share this story of strength, self-discovery, and maternal love.
