In the last 2 weeks my life has been turned upside down.. My husband left me, I have to move in with my mom across the country, Im selling everything I own to get me there and after thinking i was going to be SAH im now going back to work. Ive been handling it all ok until today. I dont know if its PPD, I dont want to hurt/yell at my LO but Im thinking really negative thoughts about myself and how id be better off anywhere else. I have no intentions on going there but its all falling apart.

I have made my 6 week post op appt but i will on monday, what can the obs do about this?

My OB met with me and my husband and talked to us about PPD. I had a good experience with him with my pregnancy..my pregnancy was high risk so I saw him a lot. He talked with us about PPD, that this wasn't my fault, the baby's fault and it was something that happens to a lot of women and he was proud that I was able to admit that there was a problem and it made me a good mom to want to take care of myself. Some OBs will prescribe the antidepressants, mine won't without getting an evaluation. 

It helped to start with him because he suggested a psychiatrist who deals mostly with women with PPD. The psychiatrist he recommended wasn't on our plan, so we called him back and he called us with a few other names to try.  

The OB was the best place to start because it's something that they see on a regular basis.
