Understanding Postnatal Depression
Progesterone levels are at their greatest during the third trimester of the pregnancy. Clarity of thought, mental acuity, high energy levels, confidence and zeal typify this period of many women’s pregnancies. With the birth of the child and the passing of the placenta, blood levels of progesterone fall dramatically. The “second day blues” is a common and transient phenomenon to the new mother, but the more lasting and pervading depression that can overcome some women is triggered by the huge hormonal withdrawl as a result of the birth.
