As we’ve done for the last several years, I like to share the most popular stories on postpartum depression and anxiety that have appeared in Postpartum Progress each year. The top ten list is based on those posts with the highest traffic, or for you non-internet types, the ones more people read.
Funny, but the most popular story of the year just came out this week, and only took one day to become the most widely-read post this year! I love the fact that three of the most popular posts were created using input from you, the moms who’ve been there.
Without further ado, here they are, counting down from our #1 most popular of the year:
1. 70 Postpartum Depression Survivors: I Knew I Was Getting Better When ______ (by Katherine Stone and our readers)
2. Five Reasons Why Asking for Help Sucks (by Katherine Stone and our readers)
3. How To Be A Good Mother: Why Imperfection Is the Only Way (by Kate Kripke)
