- by Charise_cHey Mommas, I am hoping that some of you may have the answer to what to me feels like a very odd question. Our son was born a little over a week ago, and being a mom is better than I could have ever imagined it would be. I honestly don't mind how tired I […]
- by bsurberHello Ladies, I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my second child. I was hospitalized with major depression and anxiety 7 weeks after the birth of my daughter. With the proper meds I was straightened out in no time. We've been trying for 6 months and it finally happened. Now I am having anxiety over the idea […]
- by sewitgenHas anybody tried cognitive behavioral therapy for postpartum depression/anxiety? I've read that it can be as effective as medication for mild cases. I'm not sure that I'm suffering from depression, but I just feel "off" and have been having anxiety since the baby was born – no panic attacks, just anxiety, and not necessarily just […]
- by JenBAnd old family friend needs help. Her little girl is 10 weeks, and I feel after visiting her last Friday night that she is beyond Postpartum Depression and moving more towards Postpartum Psychosis. She can not touch the baby, talk about the baby, and she nearly had a panic attack just being in the same […]
- by cubsgrl28I don't want this to be a long drawn out message but think it will be. Please keep any negative remarks to yourself, as this is hard enough for me. i have no idea what is wrong with me. I think maybe depression (which runs in my family), my job, my life, just not sure. […]
- by amygriecoI gave birth to my third child at the end of September. I remember feeling like I do with my other two, but I think because he is my last baby, these feelings are worse. Everything you read about the "baby blues" and post-partum depression are similar. The mother either wants nothing to do with […]
- by KateS_3My baby girl is 3 months old. When she was first born I was crying all the time and felt so overwhelmed. She had to be admitted to the NICU 2 days after we went home for jaundice so I know it had to do with that as well as the normal post partum blues. […]
- by taracole7205My daughter is 3 1/2mths now and I love her to death. We are very attatched to eachother. We have been blessed in the fact that my husbands job pays enough that I get to stay home with her. This is all I have ever wanted to do. However, I feel like I'm trapped. I […]
- by avanicoledavisare support groups worth my time? i'd go see my therapist but she's been on vacation or she's been too busy to see me lately, and i don't know how much longer i can go without seeing someone or talking to someone. i feel like i'm losing my mind. i'm about 6 weeks postpartum. 3 […]
- by lil8jen02I would like to talk to other mom's who have dealt or who are dealing with postpartum depression. I was diagnosed almost twelve months postpartum. Would just like to know that I'm not alone. 13 posts – 1 participant Read full topic
- by M_K6Hey Moms…I'm looking for some encouragement. I have 2 little girls (22 mths & 3 1/2 weeks). I'm trying to be careful about becoming depressed. I'm feeling the financial crunch like I know many of you are doing. My hubby is home which is a great help. I've been exclusively breastfeeding my 3 1/2 week […]
- by absenceofmei'm having a difficult time adjusting to motherhood, i feel upset alot, but i feel like that has more to do with my situation rather than postpartum, but i've noticed that no one seems to differentiate between the two; i don't have other moms to talk to except for my older friend who has 2 […]

- by Meagan_G1Hi Moms, My sister had her 1st baby 4 days ago and although she is thrilled and excited, she is experiencing some physical postpartum symptoms. Especially last night: increase in cramping…bleeding still seems normal, hot flashes (as she describes it), nausea (just a bit), loss of appetite, and crying. I explained the crying was normal […]
- by evahoodMy baby is 1 year and I unfortunately still have the "baby blues". I have tried hard to meet new moms but to be honest, it makes me feel worse, more alone and insecure because I am not as happy to be a mom as they are or portray to be. I have been to […]
- by lcartNot sure. I know everone goes thru some type of postpartum depression in some shape or form. I had it with my first but went away within weeks. I love my babies with all my heart but don't think I have bonded the same with my daughter as I did with my son. I am […]
- by knabI have a 10 1/2 month old beautiful daughter who I love with all my heart, but it seems like every time she goes to sleep I worry that she is gonna die of sids. I know she is out of the highest danger for it, she is also very healthy. But I continue to […]
- by angelbischoffI have a friend at church who was SOOO looking forward to being a mom and was absolutely thrilled when she finally got pregnant. She had a beautiful baby girl a little over a month ago and within a week or so was hit with terrible postpartum. She has sought medical care and is taking […]
