Any other 2nd time moms who have dealt with PPD? How are you coping now? And what are your fears after this baby arrives?

    I'm a FTM, but I'm looking into placenta encapsulation to help keep the PPD at bay.

    I was never formally diagnosed with PPD, but I knew I had it.  Bad.  I was naive and stupid for lying to my doc about my feelings.  I honestly am coping really well with this pregnancy.  I am nervous how things are going to go after this baby arrives, but I think I will be ok this time around.  Even if I'm not, I know it's nothing to be ashamed of and telling my doc the truth is what is going to help me, not lying.

    I am terrified that I will suffer like I did after Nathaniel is born. It was never diagnosed for me, but at least I know what to look for as far as symptoms. Mine was less depression, more crippling anxiety. I think my biggest fear is that I will somehow hurt either the new babe or Nathaniel.

    This exactly.  For me it was "I never want to leave my house b/c something could happen or someone will touch Gabriel".

    EXACTLY! I was diagnosed and took Zoloft for almost 2 years. Now that I am off my meds, I am struggling here and there. Today is an off day and it sucks. I am terrified of going back to "that" place once this baby is born. But at least I know the signs this time.

    It definitely sounds like we have ourselves a little support group :)  I'm sorry today is an off day for you.  I definitely still get those, but they have become less frequent.  Hang in there, if you ever need to talk/vent just let me know :)
