? for you ladies

Hello everyone. I had depression pretty bad before I got pregnant. It lasted a couple of years and required antidepressants but it had been better (not requiring anything) for about a year when i conceived. My doctor told me to watch out for PPD because I am more at risk. I was wondering if any of you ladies had depression before you were pg, and what I should be watching out for. Thanks so much.

    I had despression issues prior to getting pg. PPD/PPA hit me a few months ago and I've started therapy and taking Zoloft and Risperdol.

    The depression got worse for me after having a baby because major anxiety was thrown into the mix.

    Good luck!

    The symptoms that told me my depression was back were unexplainable tears, frustration, not being able to handle taking care of my son without wanting to scream at him...tiredness and feelings of helplessness. The scary thoughts I had about him getting hurt were pretty bad too.

    Be very vigilant at getting your sleep... sleep deprivation is a major accellerant of PPD.  Hope you and your DH share nighttime responsibilities.
