Loneliness, constant anxiety, fear for the child, loss of interest for life, ideas about self-destruction, despondency and irritability are signs of PND (postnatal depression). At the same time the woman feels guilty in front of the child which makes her think of herself as a bad mother. According to statistics, between 5 and 7 out of every 10 women suffer from some level of depression after giving birth.
Most mothers are afraid to admit to themselves, let alone to other people that their child is a source of unpleasant emotional stress. If a woman can’t manage her new condition and isn’t getting the support she needs from people close to her, it’s highly probable that the burdensome condition will worsen and last for months, even years.
The mother’s state is passed on to her baby. Instead of warmth and tenderness, he or she receives from the person closest a sense of alarm, uncertainty and sorrow. Researchers emphasise that a mother’s depression can cause problems with the child, beginning with development, sleep patterns, behaviour and even leading to certain mental disorders, in particular a tendency towards depression. These children are more troubled, lonely, less sure of their mother’s love and therefore of themselves.

I think is a hormonal disorder. Not lack of love. Its like fear to fail or not be a perfect mom.
Great way to make a poor mom who suffers from pnd feel even worse about herself. A little text about how to get treaded for it maybe be more helpfull then the last to paragraphs
One would have to look at the new mother's circumstances. Did she just break up with the father of the child? Was there a death in the family? Not everything is cut and dry. Some things are very understandable and not directed towards the baby but going through a grieving or break up. Some might just be inexperienced and need reassurance. Just a different perspective on things.
Holy c**p that is the wrong thing to take away from this article. Postpartum Depression is not caused by being forced to carry an unwanted baby. Postpartum Depression, just like regular Clinical Depression is not the fault of the person who suffers from it. Please, please, please read up on this and do not continue to spread misinformation.
