Is Depression During Pregnancy Linked To Later Teenage Aggression?
Tori Kropp RN | | 0
A new, British study [ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35257279/ns/health-pregnancy/ ] was recently released that showed a possible link between a woman's depression during pregnancy and later teenage aggression in her children. Although it is vitally important to continually research the subject of pre and postnatal depression [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JOm9NMFOXI ], I am critical of this particular study.
Many Women Struggle With Challenge of Newborn
EllasMom | | 0
TUESDAY, Aug. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Many new mothers in the United States struggle with chronic emotional and physical problems, often with little or no support from their husbands or partners, all the while trying to meet the needs of their newborns, and in some cases the pressure to return to work, a new report finds.
"Mothers of young children in the United States are in a rather untenable situation," said Carol Sakala, an author of the report and director of programs for Childbirth Connection, a national not-for-profit organization that works to improve the quality of maternity care.
"Mothers are so isolated in our society. There is not an appreciation for the extent to which this is a very challenging time for this large population," she said.
