postpartum

Anyone nervous they will get postpartum depression after they are pregnant? I have never been depressed. I am generally a very happy person always laughing and smiling. But it kinda worries me. I was reading and it said half pregnant women are down for those 2 weeks after baby is born.

I had postpartum depression with my first pregnancy didn't know I had it until almost 3 months later that I had my son I would randomly cry feel sad but don't worry it goes away especially if you have people that can help you

I have never had it after. I just do what I got to do. I'm a very happy and positive person. Try to stay positive and don't worry about things. I believe everything happens for a reason. Just my opinion tho

Im 21 weeks and Im on a low dose of zoloft for my depression and anxiety. Im worried about getting postpartum myself since Im already prone for it. Im really hoping not because I want to enjoy the birth of my little man. Im trying not to let it get to me even though I am worried about it. There is just to much that can go wrong with pregnancies that I dont want to stress myself out so I take every day one day at a time!

Depression is easier to deal with than the discomforts of pregnancy. I've always had waves of depression, but pregnancy journey is more scary in my opinion.

I had ppd with my daughter.  It wasn't fun at all. I have always been little and petite but I dropped from 100 lbs to 86 lbs I couldn't look at myself it was awful.  I saw on the today show that women will most likely get it if they dont get an epidural.  But not all. I had the epidural with my son and even lost my grandfather right after having my son and didnt get depressed I had my daughter natural and everything went down after I had her. Depression is no joke.
