Questions about PPD
I'm not pregnant yet but desperately TTC. I was diagnosed with clinical depression over 5 years ago and have been on meds ever since which help control it very, very well. I've talked to my doctors and they've told me the drugs are safe while pregnant, but I'm not even pregnant and already totally worried about PPD.
Anyone out there have depression before/during pregnancy and experience PPD? I'm just curious if it was really bad or the same as a normal "down"?
Hope this makes sense...

In my case (and were all diff) PPD exacerbated whatever was already going on....I had some anxiety/depression issues b4 but PPD was way worse than my normal down.
