Baby Blues or Postpartum Depression?
Feeling a bit blue for a week or two after childbirth is common. But if those “baby blues” last longer than a couple of weeks, it may be time to seek help. If you feel sad, hopeless, worthless, anxious, or empty for long periods of time, you may be suffering from postpartum depression, a serious condition that can become dangerous if left untreated. Be honest with the people you love about how you feel, and ask your doctor if counseling or medicine can help. Postpartum depression doesn’t mean you’re a bad mother—getting help makes you a great one.

Can I Eat Fish While Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
Some fish contain mercury, a metal than can be harmful at high levels. For most people, this is okay, but pregnant women and nursing mothers should be careful. Avoid fish that’s high in mercury, such as shark, swordfish, and orange roughy. You can eat fish that contains smaller amounts of mercury, like shrimp, canned tuna, and salmon, but limit it to 2 or 3 times per week.
