[blparent] Lack of mental functioning for mothers

[Angie Matney]

I missed the original post. But I just wanted to add that the process
Bridgit mentions can continue for several months after birth. I don't
know if this is aplicable in the original situation or not, but I just
wanted to add that it doesn't always resolve itself as soon as baby
comes.

Best,

Angie
