Have any of you mommies had your baby & not suffered from ppd? I feel like all I ever see is women…

never had it thankfully

4 kids and never suffered from it thank God 😊

I didn't have it with my first. Fingers crossed I won't with my second!

Never had it either

2 kids and I've never dealt with it..

I was so excited to have my baby girl home, I didn't get any ppd. Got a couple weird stares because I was so happy about everything lol

You all give me hope! 😊 thank you! Did any of you suffer from depression &/or anxiety before getting pregnant or during your pregnancy? @mluvs7 @4loves1heart @junemomma2 @caydensmommy @mrs.reitzel @tayek

I have anxiety, have had it since I was like 16. The good thing about a baby is, they need you for everything. You really get to step outside yourself and focus completely on someone else for a while. I was a little intimidated by it all, but I knew I couldn't cave or fold because the baby could not fend for herself. Nine years later I still call her my little focus point lol

No I didn't suffer from anything

@tayek, awe, I hope I'm just like you. I'm hoping that's what happens. I just get discouraged seeing everyone who does suffer. Although I know I have no choice, I'm praying that I don't end up with ppd. I'm just going to keep my mind focused on my boy!

I had ppd after I had my first daughter. she was about 8 months old when it really started to come out. I silently dealt with it for almost 3 months. I got to the point where I couldn't eat, sleep or function normally. I never once thought of hurting my daughter , but unfortunately I did start to have suicidal thoughts. so I called my mother and my my mother in law. My mil stayed with my daughter while my mother took me to my primary care doc to have an emergency appointment which he prescribed meds. Then to my local crisis center to be evaluated. I did start councling that day and slowly started to understand how to cope with my feelings. If I could give anyone advice it would be to seek councling and talk to your doc as soon as you start to feel any kind of depression. ..no matter how small because before you know it, it could get out of control!

@scorpiomom84, thank you for the advice. I can't imagine what you went through. I'm glad you got help & it got easier!

Thank you! I want all mom's to know that it is ok if you get overwhelmed...just ask for help!

i have 2 daughters and never had it.
