Speaking for Myself, by Sarah Huckabee Sanders: on Families & Children


Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Over half of all moms experience post-partum depression

Nearly 50% to 75% of new mothers experience the 'baby blues" after delivery. Up to 15% of these women will develop a more severe and long-lasting depression, called postpartum depression.

[In my own post-partum case], I hated admitting I was failing as a new mom and instead tried to hide my sadness. I felt even more guilty knowing how hard some of my friends were struggling to get pregnant and have children but couldn't. I knew this was supposed to be a blissful time in my life and seeing all the happy, successful moms around me made it even harder.

I later had two perfect and adorable baby boys--Huck and George--and experienced postpartum depression again with Huck, but this time I was more prepared and able to talk about it with my family and friends, which made all the difference. Being a mom is not easy, but the best things in life aren't easy, and there is nothing in my life that brings me more joy than my three wild, crazy, beautiful kids.
