Are any other moms to be that are as terrified of having postpartum depression as I am? I love being pregnant, and I feel like after I have her, imma be really depressed. Any moms ever experienced postpartum depression?
I was never scared of getting it, even with my previous depression history, I thought it wouldn't happen, and it did. It wasn't awful, but at the same time it was the worst. The key is getting help, asap. Because in those moments you feel like it's okay, and you can handle it, and you're supposed to "feel different," after having your baby, but there's just a line you don't cross. I always tell my friends even if they have the slightest thought they have ppd to tell their doctors immediately, saves a lot of time and emotional damage in the end.
I have been terrified of having it because I've been pretty depressed this pregnancy since I'm alone. And then my co-worker started telling me about how she had it with both of her kids, and hearing her explain how she felt toward her own kids made me even more worried. it's just something I'm really hoping not to have to deal with
