Postpartum depression

[Izzy2310]

I'm an ftm at 33 weeks and I'm just wondering if anyone else is worrying about getting postpartum depression after the baby arrives. I am so excited to be a mother and eager for my little girl to get here, but that doesn't stop me from being anxious that something could go wrong. I wouldn't say I've ever had depression as such but I have definitely had some darker periods in my past and I'm scared that something could go wrong. Am I just being overly anxious or does anyone else feel like this?

I had it. All you have to remember during the dark times it this too shall pass. Just make sure you have a good support system and remember that you need to take care of yourself too. Remember to make time for yourself. Schedule yourself a hair/spa day with a friend 2 to 4 weeks after the baby gets here

I'm terrified that I'll get it...

Hopefully my family will be around for me too. It's something that's always in the back of my mind though. Thank you
