Postpartum Depression

yes... it was the worst experience of my life.  I was certain I would harm my children and asked social services to take them away to protect them.  fortunately, I was sent to a wonderful, caring pediatrician who helped me work through the chaos and uncertainty of the time... he would call and check on me throughout the day... such a wonderful caring man!!!  He saved my life and that of my children for sure.  Help is certainly needed to get through the craziness.

Members,

Postpartum depression is an disorder associated with pregnancy and childbirth. It is thought to be primarily caused by changed in hormones and hereditary disposition. In a recent study, it has also been linked to giving birth to boys & first time moms.

Although some degree of “baby blues” is to be expected, postpartum can be distinguished by the thoughts & beliefs the mother holds of her ability to parent her children.

Did any members here experience postpartum depression? How did you deal with it?
