Brooke Christina Shields
Born: May 31, 1965
Birthplace: New York, NY

No matter what your thoughts and feelings are about postpartum depression and how you should treat it, you have to respect Brooke Sheilds. She shared a very personal experience with the word. In 2002 she became pregnant after the trials and tribulations of in-vitro fertilization and sadly a miscarriage. Three weeks before she gave birth she lost her father with whom she was very close. After giving birth she battled postpartum depression and even contemplated suicide. She is an inspiration because she shared her darkest moments in hopes that she might be able to help other women.

"I hope this will help new moms not feel alone or desperate, and that there is no shame in their feelings. Postpartum depression is out of their
control, but the treatment and healing process is not."

Thanks Hera!
