We miss it because (#1) we don’t think it exists (#2) it looks different than we think.
*let’s also address that not all families have mom + dad. I get it. It’s nauseatingly heteronormative. I wish it weren’t. But here’s the deal. These are the studies we have. 😑 so I present you what we know. We do know that not birthing partners of all genders experience hormone shifts before and after baby, what depression + those hormone shifts look like? We aren’t quite sure without being wildly heteronormative.. but we know biological shifts happen ❤️ your symptoms matter.
