S.N.
Hi M.,
With my first daughter I had PPD and didn't realize / believe anything was wrong. I cried a lot, hardly ate and when I did it was because I was nursing and knew I had to eat so I could feed her. I too did not want to take any meds but looking back I wish I had gotten help sooner, I was such a mess the twelve weeks I was home w/her that I didn't enjoy it, even know 3 plus years later it is still so upsetting when I think about it. My OB told me to call the Postpartum Stress Center in Rosemont and I spoke to Marcie Weiner, I also ended up going on Zoloft for about 6 months and it really helped, I only wish I had done something sooner.(http://www.postpartumstress.com/staff_mweiner.html)
Good Luck and please let me know how you make out.
