Heather Armstrong has an uber-successful blog, and she just gave birth to her second child, Marlo. Her life sounds perfect, but cracks are starting to appear. After the birth of her first daughter, Heather struggled with postpartum depression and ultimately checked into a hospital to get help. Of course, she blogged about the experience and recently wrote a book about it, too. A few days after Marlo’s birth, she started having panic attacks. Heather and her husband immediately sought help. Now, she’s under a doctor’s care and feeling better. It’s incredibly brave of Heather to share her postpartum struggles, and we’re all better for it.
