Treatment For Postpartum Depression
Jenny Said:
Moms who had postpartum depression - did u have another kid?We Answered:
Yes I had very severe post partum depression after I had my son two years ago. I was in treatment for almost a year, but I went on to have another child. I do have have PPD this time around as well (at least I'm pretty sure I do) but I am recognizing it and will be dealing with it. A lot of it has been my last two years of life: Have a baby, husband deploys (he was in the Army), get pregnant, lose the baby, husband comes home from Iraq and leaves the Army, we moved to Texas, found out I was pregnant again, husband lost his job last December (found one this last February), and had another baby in May. Lots to deal with in a two year span!!Point being, you can beat PPD and you can go on to have more kids and lead a happy life.

Yes.I have days like those.
I also have depression. I had it for two months and there are still days where I just break down crying for about 1 hour.
I don't think it ever goes away...but I could be wrong. Just try to find things you enojoy. Friends, music, or any hobbies. I hope you feel better :)

Women with/had postpartum depression?We Answered:
It's such a tough place to be in. You're very fortunate that you have a supportive hubby and you're seeking help. Even though you're a stay at home mom, some moms find it very beneficial to find a "mom's morning out" group or babysitter once a week or so. It's gives you a little time to relax and mellow out. You could take a nap, get your nails done, do some laundry, watch trash tv, whatever. Or join a group like Gymboree or Kindermusik and meet other moms. The meds will help. Know that you're not alone.Francisco Said:
What was your Postpartum Depression recovery time?We Answered:
It is good that you are getting help. I was very depressed after my first child was born, and I didn't get help. I was miserable for over a year. Once you get treatment, you should start feeling better almost immediately.Good luck, and congrats on the little one.

Worried about treatment for postpartum depression?We Answered:
I'm in the same boat as you:symptoms of PPD and personal & family history put me at high risk so I called my OB/GYN
I told her about my bad experiences on anti-depressant mediciations
I told her that I didn't want to go down that road again
I told her about my symptoms
she said the first big thing was to get some sleep
she put me on a sleeping pill for two nights while my husband stayed up and took the night shift with our son (Friday and Saturday night, since my husband only works Monday through Friday)
then on Monday morning I had an appointment with a therapist, I took my son to the appointment, my therapist has no problems with that
I continue to take my son to my therapy appointments and I'm still not on anti-depressants-
if therapy is enough then there is no need for meds
but therapy can only help as much as you put the work into it, no effort equals no help
hard work equals results

What are common treatments for postpartum depression?We Answered:
More than likely she just needs time. It's only been a week and a half, not very long at all. Losing the baby is a major blow to her and she's having a rough time right now. Give her some extra TLC, you sound like you care very much about her. Let her know you are there for her, she needs you. Also, Camomile tea, although it tastes terrible, is good for calming nerves. But if you feel she is suicidal, or majorly out of character, talk to your doctor. Antidepressants can help, but they are just bandaids. They do not work miracles. She probably just needs time to grieve and that's ok. It's perfectly normal after a miscarriage. And it's not too soon to say it's postpartum depression, it starts right after a miscarriage for some women. When I had my son, I had major postpartum depression three days later. As my mother would tell me when things were going wrong, "this too shall pass". And she was right.
