As time passed, I began to get depressed and cried a lot. It was not because of my pregnancy. Praise the Lord, I wasn't having any more morning sickness, and I remained in good health, but my emotions were taking a nosedive. In my present situation, I was so isolated, and so lonely, and when a woman is pregnant, she doesn't feel pretty any more. In fact, she often feels ugly and awkward. Helen Goldie
About This Quote

After giving birth, women go through a very difficult time. They are depressed, they feel ugly and they don't feel like they belong in this world anymore, they feel like they are not worthy of living anymore. Women become depressed because their bodies are no longer the way they were before giving birth. They are used to their looks and once those changes happen, they want to go back to what was before. In the Bible, the phrase "As time passed..." is used to make it sound as if things were changing very quickly.
