The journey of motherhood is tough. Believe me it\u2019s harder than you think but truth is, most mums will never complain about this; because at the end of the day – a child will always remain as a blessing.<\/p>\n

As the world celebrated Mother\u2019s Day on Sunday, a few of our local celebrities i.e Papa Shirandula\u2019s actress Nyaminde popularly known as Wilbroda opened up about her journey into mother leaving many quite shocked.<\/p>\n

Wilbroda\u2019s experience as a first time mum<\/h3>\n

According to Nyaminde, she was blessed with her first child in 2010; a handsome baby boy who was delivered through a C Section surgery and no complications.<\/p>\n

As expected the new mum was really excited to have a healthy baby boy; but little did she know the nightmares awaiting for her.<\/p>\n

On the 16th of July, 2010, I became a mother to a beautiful baby boy. It was birth by C section and my friends were there with me from the moment i got into theatre up until when the surgery was done. Thankyou @victorgatonye Thank you @king_lambourghini
\n4 days later, I was home, excited about this new chapter of my life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How she unknowingly battled Postpartum depression<\/h3>\n

Just like most mums, Ms Nyaminde ended up with postpartum depression \u00a0which comes to new mums; but unfortunately she was not aware the whole time.<\/p>\n

From the post, the mother of one says the postpartum depression slowly graduated from feeling sad during the evenings; to crying and just like that depression took over.<\/p>\n

But then almost immediately, I started having feelings that I did not understand. I was extremely sad…There was this hollowness that would show up, especially in the evenings. I’d experience such anxiety and just start crying. I didn’t understand it,\u00a0 I’d never heard of it. It just didn’t feel right.I mean I was supposed to be happy .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course the postpartum depression also comes with mum guilt that left Wilbroda wondering why she wasn\u2019t happy with her newborn; but hey – through it all she managed to remain sane. Sharing her experience, the actress went on to write;<\/p>\n

I had just been blessed with the most precious gift. I hated that feeling. I hated evenings. I told nobody about it. It just slowly slipped away…Only later did I get to know that what I went through was called Postpartum Depression.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
