Postpartum depression? (Answers: 3) (Comments: 0)

I am currently 33 weeks and was wondering if postpartum depression is genetic? I know that my mother had it really bad and im worried that I might get it. I've been very emotional though out this pregnancy. I have a tendency to cry half the time for no reason. I know this is hormonal. I was going to talk to my Doctor about it on Thursday do you think its a good idea or should i just wait and see what happens?

Postpartum Depression? (Answers: 11) (Comments: 1)

What's the difference between regular depression and post-partum (besides obviously that PPD is after you have a baby)? I've suffered from depression since my early teens, never used medication as treatment, and never considered myself "cured" but consider the good times to be times when my depression is in "remission" kinda like cancer. Anyway, I just had a baby boy a little over a month ago, and I'm definately experiecing more than "the baby blues." I already plan to talk to my doctor about this at my appointment next tuesday, but I want to know--how would I know (or the doctor know) whether it's PostPartum Depression or my regular depression back? What's the real difference? Thank you.

Can you experience postpartum depression up to 9 mos after giving birth? (Answers: 3) (Comments: 0)

I had a c- section to deliver my son and I became ill after and wasn't felling myself for about 3 mos. Also I went through a lot of hardships soon after. My son is now 9 months and I feel really depressed, perhaps I have a little the whole time, but now it seems to be unbearable. I feel like driving far away, but most of the time I stay in my room in the dark and sleep sometimes cry. Could this possibly be postpartum depression?

I have been feeling so down lately, I think I may have depression. I have never felt this way for so long in my life (i've been in the "rut" for over a month now). And if I do have postpartum depression, is it something I can see my regular doctor for or will I need to see a psychiatrist?

Is it possible to suddenly develop postpartum depression when your baby is 6 months old? (Answers: 8) (Comments: 0)

I had this with my middle child so I know what it feels like. My youngest is 6 months old and I am suddenly feeling symptoms of postpartum depression. I was just fine until now. I breastfeed only and there have been no changes with that at all. I have been losing about half a pound every day or two also, for no reason at all. Is it just hormones being goofy or something else?

How do you know the difference between postpartum depression, baby blues and PMS? (Answers: 5) (Comments: 0)

I had my baby four weeks ago and starting about a week ago my hormones have been insane and I've been having horrible mood swings. Everything drives me crazy, one minute I'm happy and the next I'm crying. I don't feel any bond with my baby at all and I'm just not happy. How do I determine if it's just simple PMS, or something more serious like postpartum depression?
