Thanks once more to Beliefnet's Lilit Marcus for finding this celebrity gossip on Perez Hilton's blog:

Gwyneth Paltrow reveals in the May issue of Vogue that she battled post-partum depression after the birth of baby #2, Moses.

"I felt really out of my body. I felt really disconnected. I felt really down … I felt pessimistic,” Paltrow tells the mag.

She also didn't realize that she was suffering from the baby blues ’til after it was over.
Paltrow suspects her depression stemmed from scaling back on her usual pre-baby treatments like acupuncture.

See, mommas out there you aren't alone. It's a good thing that celebs like Gwynbon and Brooke Shields are shining a spotlight on the issue.

Get some help cause you can fight it, too!
