Gwyneth Paltrow Talks Postpartum Depression

It?s very common among new mothers, and Gwyneth Paltrow is the first to admit she?s battled with postpartum depression.
Of her son?s April 2006 birth, the ?Shallow Hall? actress wrote in her latest GOOP newsletter, "When my son, Moses, came into the world in 2006, I expected to have another period of euphoria following his birth, much the way I had when my daughter was born two years earlier. Instead I was confronted with one of the darkest and most painfully debilitating chapters of my life."
Ms Paltrow says she later found out "for about five months I had what I can see in hindsight as postnatal depression."
Also pitching in on the newsletter to reveal her struggles with postpartum, ?New Moon? star Bryce Dallas Howard said, "In those moments after giving birth, I felt nothing," she says, explaining that she hardly recalls giving birth.
She says she called her son (with husband Seth Gabel) "it" instead of by his name, and couldn't bring herself to breastfeed at times because of the pain.
