PPD Moms with more than 1...

I had PPD/PPA horribly with DS. Meds and therapy helped get it under control but I was almost hospitalized. I plan on getting on meds right away after LO is born and getting my placenta encapsulated. I also plan on hiring a maid to help with the housework so that it's not a huge source of anxiety like it was last time...

How many of you mom's that had PPD had it the second time? did you take preventative measures?

I'm gonna look into that, thanks for the heads up. I heard good things about another herbal for anxiety/depression: magnesium. I'll probably take that too. haha

i had it for a little while, it was when my husband told me he was forcing me to get help the following monday.. i seemed to snap out of it. it was really wierd.
now that your aware, you can stay on top of it and take preventative measures

I had it pretty severe with my first and second, even though I took anti depressants my entire second pregnancy. I have a long history with depression and anxiety though.

It is. I hate it. I'm 29 and have been on and off meds since I was 14. I'm so sorry, I know how bad the anxiety can be. *hugs*
