I had PPD after DD was born. I have already talked everything over my doctor and we agreed that I would start meds at 37 weeks. She said if I feel like I need it before then I could start anytime and it is fine during pregancy. I have felt great up till this point. Lately, I feel so irriated at everything. Do you think this is just pregancy hormones or something more? I was never emotional with my first pregnancy so this is all new to me. Any one ever take Zolaft while pregnant?
Re: 2nd time moms
With my second it started when I was about 5 months pregnant and I decided with DH not to take anything but it was a tough road. I tried for the first few days to hope that the PPD wouldn't be there but within 10 days of DD being born I was on Celexa again and am still taking it.
I realized that it wasn't pregnancy hormones when it didn't get better at any point and was always there in the background even on what should have been a really good day (DS being good, DH helping out, etc.)
