She went home with a new diagnosis: postnatal depression and fatigue. According to the medical experts, Claire\u2019s body and mind were struggling to adjust to life as a first-time mother. Postnatal (or postpartum) depression is common and affects more than three million women in the United States every year.<\/span><span itemprop=\"articleBody\">Claire chose to trust her doctors, but her symptoms only worsened. Her periods were so heavy and uncomfortable that she had to bring spare outfits to work and wear layers of incontinence pads.<\/span><span itemprop=\"articleBody\">Claire says she visited medical professionals at least 20 times in the span of 18 months.
