Pregnancy Info HOME

Yes I had this after my son was born not to the degree of Brooke Sheilds by any means, but still it was tough. I had an epidural (thank God) and I ended up having a C-Section after 26 long hours of labor and then I was not able to breastfeed. These things still bother me but I don't know if that contributed to the depression. I not sick to my stomache every time I looked at my son and although I knew I supposed to feel all these wonderful emotions I just didn't. I faked it until it happended. I also got very upsest when other people held my son. My bad time of day was in the evening. I would cry every night during dinner and I didn't know why. My poor husband would just look at me with this sad look on his face. Thank god mine didn't last long and it wasn't that severe. I think ppd is one of the most interesting and misunderstood problems. I am hoping for a better experience this time. I am going to talk to my dr. in the third trimester and ask for some medications to take upon delivery. I normally take Paxil for anxiety and depression but have been off during the pregnancy so I feel like it will be vital for me to go back on the meds once my baby is born. We'll see.
