DS is almost 9 months old, but I'm fairly certain that I'm currently battling with depression. Would it even be considered PPD this late in the game?
Therapy is not covered under my insurance, so I would need to see a PCP to discuss my options. Someone suggested I talk to my OB, although I am no longer with the OB that delivered DS because of a change in insurance. What should I do?
Re: Could it be PPD?
I'm pretty sure PPD can happen anytime within the first year. I struggled with this myself after the birth of my second son, and it was my OB that I spoke with who was able to help and perscribe antidepressants. You might want to try your new OB. I know that this one didn't deliver your baby, but they do deal with this kind of a thing and it may be worth a try.
Either way, please talk to someone. There is help out there and PPD is an awful thing to go through. I wish that I would have talked to my OB sooner than I did...I think that maybe those first few months could have been a more enjoyable time for everyone. Good luck and I hope you start feeling better !
