Following the birth of her son, Simone wasn’t feeling the joy she thought she would.

After bringing it up to her obstetrician, Simone is learning that caring for herself is helping her better enjoy life as a new mom.

“When I first had my son, everyone commented how happy I must be. But all I felt was sad and overwhelmed. I thought that I wasn’t good at being a mom.”
