Depression during pregnancy is little spoken about but does occur. Post partum depression is more common than thought and can go unreported. For a small percentage of women, it can even turn into temporary mental illness. If you are experiencing serious helplessness and a lack of bonding with your child do report it to your huisarts or consultatie bureau. It is NOT your fault and help can be found. Here is the website of an English-speaking postpartum resource center in the Netherlands for your information but DO talk to your Dutch healthcare provider about it. They are the only ones who have the authority and the knowledge to refer you to the specialist you need.
