Post Partum Depression Support Group

Postpartum depression (also postnatal depression) is a form of major depression which can affect women, and less frequently men, after childbirth. It is widely considered to be treatable. Studies report prevalence rates from 5% to 25%, but methodological differences among the studies make the actual prevalence rate unclear.

It is possible to get it during pregnancy, I'm fairly sure I did. Talk to your health care people, they should be able to help. Don't suffer, plus they can monitor you afterwards too.

i am with CharmCaster on this one, their is not only Post Partum, ..after the birth, but their is also Anti-Natal Depression, which is highly possible to get during the pregnancy. Please ask your GP or Health Care providers for help

Pregnancy can be a hormone rollercoaster, just like the postpartum period can be, but having extremes in one doesn't mean you are destined to have the other. Depression can happen at any time. I was crazy emotional, especially during my first pregnancy.

consider yourself normal.

how far along are you?
