Common Questions and Answers about Postpartum depression symptoms treatment
depression
i went two weeks later to my practitioner who diagnosed me with severe postpartum depression. My husband works away and is only home about 1 week a month. He left the day after I got home from the hospital so i was alone with a 3 year old and a newborn. My mom said she would help me if i went to her house but she just was too tired to come and help. I'm essentially on my own.
how long can postpartum depression last I have a 3 month old and I seem to be having a little bit of a hard time please help thanks
Yes ma'am. I actually suffer from depression, medicated & weekly therapy sessions. But stopped all treatment at the beginning of the year, then found out I was expecting 2months later. Many days I am down in the dumps & I really worry about postpartum depression because I plan to breastfeed & am terrified about not being able to because I would have to go back on meds.
Is it possible to have postpartum depression before the baby is even here? I feel like I'm losing my mind.
The symptoms of numbness and tingling and skin sensations are symptoms of anxiety and depression. If you suffer from anxiety and depression, you are sure to experience these symptoms. So these symptoms are related to anxiety and depression and not childbirth as such. You are likely to experience the symptoms if you have anxiety and depression without childbirth also. Please keep yourself free from stress and be happy with the baby. Please consult a psychotherapist for help.
ve been reading so many crazy stories about worn and postpartum depression. I was just wondering how many of you second time mommies went through this? And how exactly did you guys cope with it? My best friend went through it so bad and in just mega scared I might go through it as well!
Hello there,
indeed it could be sign of depression and depression is pretty common in miscarriage events. You and your boyfriend need each other more than ever so working on your couple could be a good thing. Another option would be to go for a therapy. You are still young so I do really think the depression is temporary and that you don't need medication. I know such event is hard to forget but you will eventually get over it.
One thing you need to make sure of ---- do NOT let them base your treatment only on the low TSH level. Treatment based solely on TSH, is nearly always a recipe for disaster. Insist on having both Free T3 and Free T4 tested, if they haven't been already.
Do make sure you get a copy of all labs that are done, for your records. Your doctors are obligated to provide you copies upon request.
You need to go see your doctor. Postpartum depression is not something you want to delay treatment in. There isn't enough vitamin D, exercise, alone time, etc. that is going to treat postpartum depression. Please go see a doctor. As an RN, I can assure you that many women feel this way and we're here to help you feel better so you can take care of yourself and your baby. Medication is what will help you, I promise.
doesnt sound like postpartum depression just depression,not that thats any better really but do speak to your doctor or a counsellor and get some help,its an awful thing if it gets out of hand..
I'm having my first baby and I'm sooo thankful ... but suddenly I been hearing stories bout postpartum depression or baby blues etc .... and I'm just don't want to go down that road ?
Hi hun im going through something similar with the lack of help from hubby as he works and also home bound and constant worrying. I got twins they are 4weeks now. However in not letting it get the better of me.
I did get it really bad with my son 4yrs ago after his birth and i can tell you the depression didnt last long as i kept myself busy. But the anxiety n worrying came back in full force after couple of years.
I also began taking fluoxetine (20mg) and a low dose of trazadone for postpartum depression and anxiety. My symptoms started approximately 4 weeks after starting these medications. I drink roughly 3/4 glasses of wine per week, and take ibuprofen as needed (roughly 1 or 2 times a week to help relieve sinus headaches) Could the new meds I’m taking be causing the bruising and sweating?
I am at the early stages of PPT (I also have postpartum anxiety) my endocrinologist put me on Tapazole 2 weeks ago. I have a mild soar throat but I believe it's merely the remnants of a cold. However, I am losing an insane amount of hair, above the average hair loss due to postpartum. Is this the combo of thyroid, meds and postpartum... I'm on tapazole 10mg daily dose. Is there something I can do? I had my blood work done on Friday and WBC was normal... does it fluctuate easily?
Hello,
Baby blues and postpartum depression is quite common, and is not a reflection of the love you have for your child. See your ob/gyn ASAP to discuss approaches for treatment.
Best regards,
Dr.
With that though is postpartum depression can happen for up to 2 years after the birth of your child so you are going thru postpartum and pregnancy depression all in one but it normal. But make sure you sit down in talk to someone about anything you may be second guessing your self on or if you are getting over whelmed. Please dont be afraid to ask for help. Because it will eat you up inside if you try to do it alone and bottle it in.
How many of you ladies have/had postpartum depression and did you take medication for it or try and "ride-it-out"? What were your symptoms and how long did they last?
Ive definitely been having bouts of depression and feelings of being overwhelmed - yesterday I was in Walmart and called hubby to ask about an item and he asked me to get something else and I suddenly felt overwhelmed and like I was going to cry! LOL.
I'm not sure if I have mild postpartum depression or not. I lose my temper really quickly, have awful mood swings and just don't generally feel myself. The only thing that makes me feel better is my beautiful daughter. I don't know what to do with myself when she's asleep.
I suffer from depression so im more likely to get postpartum depression myself! Im very scared because its so serious! I try and distract myself by thinking about the baby and not thinking aboutb it. Its really the best you can do! Ill keep you in my prayers and wish you the best!
Have any of you mommas experience postpatrum depressionnn? And can tell me how long after having baby you got it and what were you feeling? I had my babygirl 2 weeks ago,& and I've been feeling weird lately, like sad , don't get me wrong I love my doll but I find myself thinking about the past and how it would be if I didn't have her.. I feel so bad when these things run through my head BCUS I really do love her ..
I'm 11 months postpartum with my third son. Normal, vaginal delivery with epidural and no complications. 3 weeks after delivery, I had horrible spasms at my epidural injection site - they were so painful I collapsed. Since then, ive had balance issues, brain fog, numbness and tingling that travels to various places, tingly/numb tongue, back and neck pain, achy muscles and joints...I could go on and on.
I've had extensive work ups and MRIs...
