UNDERSTANDING POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION AND THE ROLE OF HUSBANDS

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a complex condition affecting many new mothers. Hormonal changes, emotional adjustments, and new responsibilities can contribute to feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fear, which can be overwhelming for a woman.

Husbands can play a significant role in their wives' healing and recovery, given their close relationship and direct involvement.

In fact, many marriages have suffered due to husbands not fully understanding the impact of PPD on their wives.

HOW HUSBANDS CAN HELP:

1. LISTEN ACTIVELY: Create a safe space for your partner to express their emotions.

2. VALIDATE FEELINGS: Acknowledge her experiences and avoid minimizing her emotions.

3. SHARE RESPONSIBILITIES: Help with childcare, household chores, and errands.

4. EMPATHY AND SYMPATHY: PPD is an overwhelming condition where a woman may not have total control over her actions and behaviour. Empathizing and sympathizing can help support her through this period without being judgemental.

5. BE PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING: Recognize PPD isn't something she can "snap out of." It takes time to heal.

6. ENCOURAGE PROFESSIONAL HELP: Support seeking medical attention if symptoms persist. Seeking professional medical attention can help manage this situation.

7. PRAYER: You will eventually need to pray to receive all the graces, wisdom and virtues to be able to help your wife throughout this period without getting frustrated leading to abandoning her.

PPD is a common condition requiring empathy and support.

Husbands play a vital role in their partner's recovery. Open communication and shared responsibilities can help alleviate symptoms.

By understanding PPD and offering support, husbands can significantly impact their partner's journey toward healing and recovery.

Don't over pamper your child just because they're your only child. It's worse to have one child and have them wayward.

I WANT TO BE ME!

I pray daily to embrace being myself, simply because it's easier than trying to be someone else.

God didn't create you to be like anyone else, you're created to be you.

God took His time to create you, and blessed you to come through your parents, that's never a mistake.

"I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5.

Prophet Jeremiah was born after many notable prophets had lived, men who did great works for the Lord. These prophets include Moses, Isaiah, Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Samuel, Amos, Obadiah, Nahum, Elijah and Elisha. The list of the prophets before Jeremiah includes major prophets and minor prophets.

But in all, God didn't tell Jeremiah that he was formed and ordained to be like any prophet before Him. That's remarkable, and that's originality.

I want to be me! I love Elisha particular because he knew that he was formed to be Elisha and not Elijah, so when he was asked by Elijah about what he wanted, he said that he needed a double portion of what Elijah had, he knew he was created for more. 2Kings 2:9. Woooo!

I want to be me! Anytime you attempt to be like someone else, you risk your generation of missing out on your unique contribution. You're designed to be you. You're good enough, you're beautiful enough, you're intelligent enough, you're anointed enough, you're rich enough, and you're blessed enough to be you.

You limit yourself when you try to be Like someone else. The easiest way to die is to be like another man. The moment you start living like someone else, you seize to live.

You frustrate God's deposit within you when you start living like someone else. You may even miss your blessings when you try to be like others. God wants to relate with you based on your divine identity, don't let Him meet with a photocopy of another man.

I admire Esther because she understood the importance of being herself. When her turn came to meet King Xerxes, she seized the moment, embracing her unique identity rather than imitating others. Esther 2:15.

You're created to bring something unique to the world, so seek out your purpose and don't just try to blend in or mimic others.

You're happier and more fulfilled when you're you. You may be hated and disliked for being you, you may be loved for being you, and you may also be criticized for being you, but regardless of what people think about you, the reward of being you is worth it.

Pray, learn, accept corrections, love, read, and take action to become the best version of yourself. Never settle for being a copycat, even if you admire others, be uniquely you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me! I'm thankful to God, and I'm proud to be me, AUGUSTINE UVI.

You don't know how much sacrifices your parents made for you until you become a parent yourself. May we live long enough for our children to appreciate us! Amen.

The way some people flaunt their children and boast about them around other parents can be annoying, especially for those who don't have kids yet. May God bless all couples who are believing for children. Amen.

Be intentional about the relationship your children keeps. One wrong association can cause so much damages to your children.

Communicate with your children who live with friends or relatives as regularly as possible, allowing them to freely share their experiences with you. You never know who might take advantage of your child when you're not around.
