Postpartum Depression

question

When I had DS I didn't suffer from PPD afterwards and wasn't depressed before becoming pregnant with him. But that was 7 years ago and I'm concerned that my depression now, that I had before becoming pregnant will turn into PPD...I know my hormones being all over the place has made my depression even worse and DH is very concerned. I plan to talk to my dr tomorrow when we go but in the mean time did anyone suffer from depression before getting pregnant, and through their pregnancy?

    my sister stayed on prozac before getting pg and all during her pregnancy. if you need meds there are a few kinds you can take the whole time - don't worry!

    I've had a history of getting depression off and on and OCD.  I was symptom free for three years, then at the end of 3rd tri and now that I've had my baby I have really BAD OCD again and I think that makes me depressed.  I think that it can be exacerbated by pregnancy hormones and such.  It's good to talk to your doc now so they can have a heads up.
