I was weepy after the birth of my 1st child (lasted 2 months) and I even called my doctor with my concerns. She wanted to put me on Celexa (safe for breastfeeding), which I declined b/c I was just too nervous and with the breastfeeding/drug mix and thought I could beat it with exercise and a positive attitude. Eventually, like Julie mentioned, I just kinda went numb and also had no energy or drive and finally decided to try Zoloft (also safe for breastfeeding) which worked wonders. I went off after 8 months and felt perfectly fine and normal. As far as the survey questions: I had an epidural, went vaginal and breastfed. I don't believe they played a factor in my PPD.
