It isn't like they are the first people to give birth and become a parent afterall, we have been doing it since the start of time.
Yes, it isn't easy but it isn't meant to be!

Blahblahblah - many people suffer from trauma giving birth. Have you ever given birth? The whole bloody experiance is traumatic!
Medical complications and the onset of conditions such as PND are completely different.
What gets my goat is mums whinging about how hard it is, how they never get time to themselves, they don't feel like a part of society becuase they have had a child and on and on and on like that!
Woooo - you had a baby, well done, so has almost every female ever and GUESS WHAT? They survived!

i see where you are coming from...an old mate used to say her 2 year old son would'nt let her do ANYTHING! and her home was a tip...she basically used him as an excuse to be lazy.i have 4 kids and i always have time to clean/washing/hoovering etc.
i cant stand people who have a couple of kids ,then say its hard work!..they are only hard work if you let them..you have to plan and have a routine,when they nap you get a job done and never blame kids for your lazyness

You said youself, it isn't easy. Some people can cope with that and some people can't. Giving birth will affect every mother in a different way. What about the people who go through complications with birth, before and after? Should they just get over it? Stop being such an insensitive **** and go and find something proper to argue about. Idiot.

NEW MUMS HAVE A RIGHT TO WINE.!!!!!!!!!
You suddenly are responsible to look after a new human being.
Your insides ache after being nearly ripped apart.
The baby always wants to be fed when you want to sleep.
And many new mums have not got a clue how to cope.
Baby books gloss over the problems. Tv adverts and movies make it look easy'
So you feel like a failure 24 hours a day.
Winging to a friend is a good release form the pressure. Letting off the steam that builds up with the frustration of being a new parent can help with the coping.
Mine are older now, and I am glad. But I remember when things were tough. Three hours sleep per night, 20 minutes at a time. But it was worth it, because I love my kids.
A friend who has been through it can give good advise and support. I know it helped me at the time.

Wow....some very mean-spirited comments here. People need a place to vent their circumstances: just look at how many sites are dedicated to the discussion of how awful one's job is or the like. Its that communication of a shared experience that makes the load a little lighter.
How about some compassion people.

If we lived in a traditional (not modern) society, where family ties are strong and people are not selfish and individualistic, well, than new mothers would welcome motherhood very naturally and would have a lot of support from their mothers, sisters, in-laws, friends etc.
Modern society is not natural, it's artificial. So artificial results are expected from natural events such as motherhood.

Well, I have made friends with the baby and he's a toddler now! We go everywhere together and have a great time! He's funny, interesting and loving. We never argue and he listens to everything I have to say with great interest!
Sometimes he's incontinent and he does ask me for chocolate quite a lot, but I don't mind those little quirks of nature!
I can't say that I get along that well with anybody else!
*LOL*

For one, it doesnt sound like you read the article you posted. I skimmed it, but it covered the differences of todays new moms - vs those since the end of time.
