AFTER a mother gives birth....she can be in a total funk depression and have negative thoughts about her motherly instincts. I think that's what Brooke Shield's book was about. It isn't uncommon at all. It's caused from a harmone imbalance. Post partum depression......
I think also....some younger first time moms can go thru feeling a little overwhelmed with a newborn. Women used to get more help from mothers, family members and friends...than they do now.
