I did not get postpartum depression but I think you can get it because my doctor told me if I felt depressed or what ever to call and make a appointment.

I first want to say I am sorry for your loss.
I think you are just suffering from loss and depression. I was horably moody after I lost my baby. I would stay in bed and I could barly take care of my self nore my other boy. I ended up searching for help andI went to a tharipist to talk. I could not talk to any one else. But talking about it worked for me, it was like I let every thing out that wa on the inside.
However I did get PPD during my pregnancy after I lost my baby. It started in the middle and it was horibal. I had panic attacks, horibal thoughts and just depressed. I had it for six months or more after the birth of my son. And I just slowy got through it on my own. I did however find hope on this site. Relating with others helps alot too. I still come on here to give advice and hope to others and I hope that I can help you a little to ;) *hugs* I am sure you will be fine, but remember these things take time.

Thank you!!

I am a RN and you can get post partum depression after a m/c. Your body does not know you lost the baby per say. It thinks you had the baby normally and the hormones are still there like after having a baby. I have been a little concerned about it for myself. I am extremely moody and sometimes a B. I get angry alot right now. I think you should definitely talk to your doctor. Hope this helps.

Thank you it does help

I was told by my doc that you can suffer postpartum after a miscarriage. You had a lot of hormones in you that are suddenly going (or leaving slowly). It's common to get depressed. Perhaps seeing a therapist might help. Always here if you need to talk. Hang in there.

I did have postpartum after my m/c. I let my OB know at my 2 week visit. She put me on something for a month (I could have stayed on it longer but we were ttc) When I just had a stillborn she put me right on it. Because we are going to be ttc a.s.a.p I stopped taking it after one month. I am not really sure how much it helped. It did make me very withdrawn. I still felt sad but I really did not cry. Now I feel sad and now I cry.
If it continues,or gets worse I would call my OB. They may have some suggestions. There is no reason that you should feel worse then you already do.
Good Luck

im not sure if what i had was postpartum depression after my m/c....but i was extremley depressed and still not over it...my OB put offered to set me up an appt. with a phychiatrist (which i chose not to, although i should have, and still think i need to) and he also put me on zoloft..that wasnt working, so he switched me to wellbutrin XL...which i havent even started taking yet, because i am PG again and didnt wanna do anything to hurt the baby...i was 16weeks and 2 days when i lost my baby in July...and currently 14 weeks and 4 days as of today (but still scared to death)...but if u need medication or if u need to talk to someone, get the help u need to keep yourself healthy...best of luck

The grief feelings that we experience after miscarriage can cause anxiety and depression.. I have been experiencing both since my miscarriage in June. I am seeing a counsellor which is helping a bit. The main thing that has been said to me is that is ok to grieve and let it out! I have been very sad and had bouts of anxiety too like panic attacks, i started some tablets but they made me feel worse so i came off them. I am still very sad but i get better days now time i suppose will help! Thinking of you lots and praying you will feel better, talk to your Dr if things seem really bad.

After I lost Nolan I had postpartum depression and a little bit of anxiety. My doctor gave me something for it for about a month and I started to talk to someone about it my loss. It helped talking to someone. If you even think that you might have postpartum I would call your doctor.

I found out about my m/c at my 1st sonogram on Dec 17, 09. I've had a D&E and a D&C since then. I have felt depressed at times, cry at least 1 time a day, and just don't feel like me. My question is...Is this normal or could this be postpartum since it is going on 6 weeks? If this is normal, how long will it take to become somewhat happier and start to enjoy life again?

I recently miscarried and feel the same way. I am so down, depressed, emotional, just down right miserable. I go to my doctor on Monday for my first check up since my m/c and he told me we can discuss options because it is possible to have postpartum depression after you miscarry.
