Beyond Blue
Adjusting to life as a mother can
be difficult. In fact, for many women, having a baby is the
most significant life-changing event they will ever

coping with the day-to-day stress of a new baby, can make
some women more likely to experience depression at this
time, particularly if they've experienced depression in the
past.
