Post Partum Depression
posted 21st Nov
I have been clinically diagnosed with depression a few years ago and have quit taking my medication because I found a way to deal with it myself and didn't want to feel dependent on medication for my happiness. But I find that now it's harder for me to make myself get out of bed unless I have to. I am 36 weeks pregnant. Does this mean it is more likely for me to have PPD after my daughter is born? I don't want to be a negligent mother to my child but I don't think I'd know I was doing it. I also don't want to go back on my medication because it can be expensive. Thoughts and opinions appreciated.
