Angelina's a Normal Mom...
rumor has it that Angelina is suffering from "normal" postpartum blues.
Firstly, I'd like to make a distinction. The symptoms described here.. wild mood swings, loss of interest in sex, crying jags, etc... these describe Postpartum Depression. "Baby Blues" refers to the common weepiness that happens a week postpartum when a Mom's milk supply increases.
Angelina needs to get some help. She needs to get outside every single day and take a walk in the sunshine. She needs to keep nursing her baby so her hormones don't whack out. She needs to get a support group of other Moms.
I imagine some of these things are hard for a celebrity Mom. If she steps outside her door she'll be harassed by the press. And I can't imagine her showing up at playgroup or La Leche League of Beverly Hills (or wherever she lives).
"Hey honey, you'll never guess who was at the playdate today!"
Poor Angelina. I guess we'll see what the stuff her relationship with Brad is made of now. Especially if he's not getting as much nooky as before.

"But what troubles him most is that Angelina has lost interest in him in the bedroom. He can't understand that, because they've always had such a good sex life."
If that is true that is really crappy. Out of all the other things he has supposedly said she is feeling this is the one that troubles him the most?!
I feel so blessed that my husband was so understanding when I had Nicky. I was exhausted, emotional, physically healing, trying to figure out breast feeding ... and all the emtions many moms feel.
I can't imagine how isolating it feels to be a huge celebrity and be going through something like that. I hope she has friends to turn to and I do hope Brad is being sensitive and caring ahout it all.
If she does have PPD it's nothing to take lightly and I hope she gets help if she needs it.
Wow. That does sound a lot more like PPD than just the blues.
If I hadn't been able to just grab my stroller and get outside to clear my head after the birth of my babies, I think I would have lost it. I can't imagine being locked inside away from the press -- even in a really *really* nice house...
Poor woman. Having post-partum anything in the public eye certainly can't help things.
And please...let's take those comments on what Brad's most upset about with a grain of salt. I was on "Team Aniston", but when I see quotes from "sources", I just can't take them at face value.
Or perhaps, this is Jessica Simpson's "in".
Or better yet, maybe Tom Cruise had a solution to all this?
See my thought when I heard about Brad having to go to shoot the new movie was that it's tough on a new mom not to have the support from dad. I just hope neither one of them take the "easy way out" of anything. Like let's just hire a nanny to take care of all the kids so Angelina can do whatever she wants to feel better.
Sometimes men, including celebrity men, are just clueless.
A new addition to the family is always an adjustment. It's additionally tough if the family is not working together to make things work. (i.e. dad being away - neither one of them will have an idea of what the other is dealing with in their separate "worlds")
