  • The Reality of Postpartum Life

    Understanding the Numbers Behind the Struggles

    Employment Rates

    Only 30% of postpartum mothers return to work within the first year after childbirth, primarily due to a lack of flexible work options and societal expectations regarding maternal responsibilities. This underscores the need for better employment support for mothers.

    Time Allocation

    Studies show that postpartum mothers spend an average of 15 hours a week on household chores and childcare, leaving minimal time for personal interests or social activities. This imbalance highlights the urgent need for shared household responsibilities.

    Mental Health Statistics

    Around 25% of postpartum mothers experience symptoms of depression and anxiety, often exacerbated by feelings of isolation and overwhelming responsibilities. Mental health support is crucial for these women to thrive.

    Access to Support

    Only 40% of postpartum mothers have access to community support groups, indicating a significant gap in available resources for emotional and practical assistance. Increasing awareness and accessibility to these support systems is vital.
