Depression

Deannabee78

Since my d&e on Tuesday I have started to feel more depressed. I have also noticed that I am gettin anxious and having irrational fears about something happening to my dd or dh. Almost like I feel that if this baby can be taken away from me so suddenly that anyone can kwim? Wondering if I could have a form of ppd? Has anyone been prescribed meds for this? Have they worked?

I've never been one to rush into med right away for treatment, so FWIW I would give it a week.  It's pretty soon after your loss so I would wait a week or so and see how you feel.  I have felt like I could burst out into tears all day, but I know that's how I can be with loss and with time I will feel better.

I would not rush into meds, especially due to all the hormone changes that you are dealing with.  Give you body time to level out before you add another agent into it.  I would though look into seeking out the support of a therapist.  You have been through a traumatic experience, and what you are describing are symptoms of someone reacting to a trauma.  You need to work through your thoughts and feelings.  Good luck ((HUGS))
