Who to call

Mrs.JKMrs.JK member
in Postpartum Depression
I only have an OB, no general dr. I know I had pp depression after I had my DD. But for whatever reason was in denial or embarrassed to admit to it. Now I feel so hopeless, tired, and very moody. It could be partially due to adjusting to changing shifts at work (went from 2nd to 3rd). My question is do I call my Ob? Or find a GP dr and get an appt ( which could take months to get it)

    I would start with your OB and if s/he thinks you should see a GP, ask her for a rec.

    GL! Any transition can be tough and spark depression, anxiety,etc. and you are doing the right thing by getting help.

    also, if you have a good relationship with your OB, she might be able to get you seen by a GP quicker if she thinks its urgent.

    I agree with ladipale, contact your OB and go from there.

    I wanted to add: sorry you have to go through this, but good for you for looking for help.  I hope you can find some support and help on this board.
