Motherhood <\/a>is a beautiful thing; but we\u2019re not mincing our words when we say the first few weeks of your journey as a new mother is an emotional roller coaster. Between the lack of sleep<\/a> and both physical and hormonal changes your body is going through (on top of adjusting to caring for your newborn) - it\u2019s no smooth ride. <\/p>

If you find yourself feeling down<\/a>, isolated, unsupported and completely \u2018not yourself\u2019, trust us: you\u2019re not alone. Postpartum depression<\/a> affects 1 in 7 \u00a0of new mothers,<\/strong> and is - we repeat - not a sign of weakness. Unlike the baby blues, postpartum depression rarely disappears on its own accord. How long it lasts and how to best cope with it differs from mother-to-mother.<\/p>

While some mothers resort to medication, we find that talking to someone about it and indulging in a little self-care helps. It might not necessarily rid you of it, but certainly goes a long way in helping you ride over the bad days.\u00a0<\/p>

Take the time to properly take care of you (for a change), with a few self-pampering and beauty rituals we swear by to tide over postpartum depression. P.S. They might seem simple - but truly, it's the little things you do that make the toughest days a little brighter. Browse them in the gallery above!<\/p>
