She wanted to me and chit chat about PPD. What should I expect? What type of meds help with this? I mean DD is 9 months old, could this still be PPD? :-/

Re: I'm meeting with Doc tomorrow
I don't have PPD but I do have prenatal depression so I have been researching both. I have talked to my ob and now see a therapist and psychiatrist. My psychiatrist put me on 50mg of Zoloft and she said this is the medicine with the best results. She said it is the safest for the baby while pregnant and while breastfeeding.
When I first talked to my ob she asked a lot of questions about how I was feeling, my mood, my actions, other stress in my life. It was pretty much just talking. The psychiatrist was the same thing. I will be watched for PPD too and they told me that PPD can hit anytime between birth and 1 yr and will most likely have to be on the meds all of that time.
These sites have a lot of info. Sorry I cant make them clicky.

Good Luck and Take Care of Yourself!
