I made an appointment with my OB...

I have been wanting to get an IUD placed as well as talking about PPD.

When I made the appointment, I just said it was about birth control.  I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I'm ashamed of the feelings I'm having. Sad

When I told my husband that he would need to work from home that day, I couldn't even tell him that I want to discuss PPD with the OB.  I'm ashamed of the feelings I'm having, and I'm ashamed that I feel ashamed about it.

Ugh.  This sucks.

    I think feeling ashamed of what you're feeling is normal, but you're taking steps to get help and that's nothing to be ashamed of! Asking for help isn't easy. Good luck with the OB! It does get better.

    Don't be ashamed!  Please, don't be. 

    When I got pregnant, DH told me that PPD was crap.  I was so afraid to tell him about what I was going through that I just made the appointment and didn't tell him about it till the night before.  After the appointment I told him I got put on meds and he felt awful. 

    Anyway I hope you get the help you need soon!

    I'm so sorry you're feeling depressed. I've struggled with depression for years, and I was diagnosed with PPD yesterday. I feel ashamed and guilty, too. I feel like I should be ecstatic over my new baby, and I'm not. I love her so much, but I just don't feel as happy as I think I should.

    Good luck with your appointment, and just know that you're not alone!
