PPD Screening=Epic Fail

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

So.  Had my 6 wk pp checkup today.  Everything is awesome physically--girly parts all healed, down to below prepreg weight, bp is good.

But in the words of my doc about my PPD screening:  "This is a flunk."  

Sigh.  At least I know how I'm feeling isn't normal.  Bring on the shrinks! I'm so ready to feel like myself again.  And, I'm ready to love my son.

    What kind of screening do they do?  My Dr just asked if I was feeling okay, and then moved on.

    It's a multiple choice test of about 10 questions--it has a name but I don't remember it and don't have time to google it right now.  As I was filling it out, I was like "uh oh.  I don't think this is going to be good."  Stuff about how anxious you feel, how you're coping, etc.

    I'm not surprised, really--a bit relieved, actually, and even a bit embarrassed (which is stupid, I know, but it is what it is).  I'm just ready to get on with my life...

    < ----- has ppa/ppd.

    I never took a test, so maybe that's why I'm not exactly sure how bad I have them. I just know that she asked me a few questions and told me I had both.

    Anyway, good luck and definitely share your feelings! It helps you and others to understand what you're going through and it is nothing to be ashamed of!?

    Thanks, Shorty!  Feeling-sharing is not an easy thing for me--but it's time.  For my and the munchkin's sake. 

    BTW--your hair looks ADORABLE!
