Inyani malunga noxinzelelo lwasemva kokubeleka
Umxholo
Sivame ukucinga ngoxinzelelo lwasemva kokubeleka, ukumodareyitha ukuya koxinzelelo olukhulu oluchaphazela ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ze-16 zabasetyhini abazalayo, njengento ekuvunayo emva kokuba usandul 'ukuzala umntwana. (Ngapha koko, ilapho kanye ngegama: iposipartum.) Kodwa uphando olutsha lubonisa ukuba abanye abantu abanale ngxaki basenokuqalisa ukuba neempawu ngexesha ukukhulelwa kwabo. Ngaphezu koko, ingxelo yababhali bophononongo, aba bafazi baya kuba neempawu ezimbi ngakumbi, ezibukhali ngakumbi kunabasetyhini abaqala ukufumana iimpawu emva kokubeleka. (Le yiNgqondo Yakho: Uxinzelelo.)
Kwisifundo sabo, abaphandi bahlalutya ngaphezulu kwabasetyhini abangama-10 000 abanesifo sokudakumba emva kokubeleka, bethathela ingqalelo ukuqala kweempawu, ubungqongqo beempawu, imbali yokuphazamiseka kwemood, kunye neengxaki ezenzeka ngexesha lokukhulelwa kwabo. (Ubungakanani ubunzima obufanele ukuba ubufumane ngexesha lokukhulelwa?) Ukongeza ekufumaneni ukuba imeko ingaqala ngaphambi kokubeleka, abaphandi bafumanise ukuba uxinzelelo lwasemva kokubeleka lunokwahlulwa lube ngamacandelwana amathathu ahlukeneyo, nganye nganye ibonisa ngendlela efanayo. Oko kuthetha ukuba, kwixa elizayo, endaweni yokufumanisa ukuba unexinzelelo lwasemva kokubeleka, abantu basetyhini banokufumana uxilongo loxinzelelo lwasemva kokubeleka, uhlobo lwesi-1, 2, okanye 3.
Kutheni le nto ibalulekile? Okukhona oogqirha besazi ngumahluko phakathi kweseti esezantsi yoxinzelelo lwasemva kokubeleka, kokukhona banokulungisa ukhetho kunyango ngalunye, okukhokelela kunyango olukhawulezileyo nolusebenzayo kwimeko eyoyikisayo. (Nasi isizathu sokuba ukudinwa kufuneka kuthatyathwe ngokunzulu.)
Okwangoku, eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu onokuyenza (nokuba ukhulelwe ngokwakho okanye unomntu omthandayo) kukugcina iso lakho ngaphandle kweempawu ezilumkisayo ezinje ngoxinzelelo olukhulu, ukungakwazi ukujongana nemisebenzi yesiqhelo yemihla ngemihla (njengokucoca ejikeleze indlu), iingcinga zokuzibulala, kunye nokutshintsha kwemozulu. Ukuba ubona ezi mpawu okanye naluphi na utshintsho olungaqhelekanga kwimoya yakho, qhagamshelana nogqirha wakho ngokukhawuleza ukuba ucele uncedo. Ezinye izixhobo ezincedo ziquka i-Postpartum Support International kunye neziko lenkxaso yePPDMoms kwi-1-800-PPDMOMS. (Funda ngakumbi malunga noSuku lweSizwe lokuHlola ukuDakumba.)
