Pregnancy Info HOME

After my son was born I suffered PPD really bad. I didn't admit it for months that something was wrong because I was so ashamed about feeling depressed. I used to say to myself what do I have to be depressed about? I have a beautiful baby a great husband and a perfect life but yet I didn't want to get out of bed everyday. I don't know how or why I got the depresssion but also studied Psychology in college and am pursuing a graduate degree and have learned it has a lot to do with the falling and rising of hormone levels. Once I finally admitted to myself that I had a problem I got some help (medication). My husband and I used to get into terrible fights because he didn't understand what was wrong with me. Once I got on my meds I felt like a new person. Now I am 5 months along and am depressed again. I have been off medication for almost 2 years. I have a feeling I am going to go through the same thing once this baby is born.
