Nikki and Brie Garcia on Postpartum Depression

BDA Baby (Before, During and After Baby)

Nikki and Brie Garcia, sisters, mothers, and reality TV stars, join us today to discuss an extremely important topic, postpartum depression (PPD). Nikki opens up about her struggle with postpartum depression and shares the eye-opening reality she experienced when she became a mom herself. She shares her experience with the stigma of postpartum depression and how she went about making her support system (her partner, her friends, and other moms) aware of her diagnosis. Nikki shares with us how she learned about the importance of strong communication and prayer and meditation to get through tough times. We talk about how doctors are seeing the highest rates of postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety ever due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and we discuss becoming new mothers in the height of the pandemic. Nikki shares with us the best ways one can be supportive to new mothers and to mothers battling postpartum depression.

Our conversation covers everything from breastfeeding, new motherhood, feeling lonely, postpartum depression, and so much more! Nikki offers insights into how to best support new mothers in their new season of life.
