I had a baby nearly a month ago now and been getting little tell-tale signs I might have postnatal depression. I find it really hard getting up in the mornings, find it hard getting to sleep at night, keep getting angry and upset really easily (cried while feeding my little girl at 2am this morning because I just felt yuk) and just feel over-all bored and lonely, even though I’ve got a partner who lives with me. Is this all normal or is it cause for concern. I’m going out for a night out with my best mates next friday to let my hair down a bit while my daughter spends some time with her granny for a couple of nights so I’m hoping it will make me feel better as I’ve barely seen any of my friends the last few months…do you think it will help in the long run? Thanks for your help.

I have been suffering the worst depression for the last month. Its to the point where its affecting my marriage and job. I go to the doctor next week for my next prenatal appointment. Can my doctor prescribe me anything for it? Is there anything safe? And is it normal to suffer from depression?
Thanks!!

so next week im going to take a test. i took one 2 weeks ago but it was only a week after we had sex but i was really worried. (it came out negative obviously)
so next week it will be four weeks…just to be clear.

anyways, besides from mood swings and an anxiety attack last night, nothing feels different or looks different (boob-wise).

I was just wondering if it was possible to experience postnatal depression after having an abortion?
i have been feeling very anxious recently and really tired, miserable, sick and dizzy.
The worst of it is when i try to sleep i get woken up suddenly in a panic..

I had an abortion about 3 months ago and i did actually want to have the baby but there was no way i could of kept it. I was left feeling really torn the next few days beating myself up over the fact i had got rid of it.
I havnt really thought about it much since..

I am a 23 year old female. I am healthy and I eat a proper diet. I usually only drink water (4-6 glasses a day). I do have a sweet tooth though. Since Jan 10th of this year I have had dry mouth. It feels like it is more my tongue and the roof of my mouth. My saliva seems ok under my tongue and inside of lips at times. My tongue is white and my saliva gets frothy. I do experience dry eyes at times, but it is the winter and it is VERY dry where I live. I am not on any medications and I wasn’t at the time. The only thing I was taking was a prenatal vitamin because I am spacing out my pregnancies. I have tried 3 different meds for oral thrush (my doc said I had it) but the dry mouth feeling never went away. Since the beginning of 2009 I have been under alot of stress and anxiety and depression now because of my mouth. I know anxiety can cause dry mouth, but for almost 2 months?? I have been tested for diabetes, and I do not have it. I also do not have HIV. I had a virus right before I got my dry mouth. Also I have had alot of sinus problems since 2007. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
p.s. I do have GERD.

Basically I have always known that she was mentally ill (due to growing up with her behavior, but now I know that she was originally ‘normal’ before and only became mentally ill after suffering postnatal depression, it has now prompted me to investigate what is actually wrong with her.

She has expressed the following symptoms:
- Fatigue; she’s always tired, though she is also anaemic, though I don’t know whether she has always had this
- Paranoia; most of the time my mum is strangely happy and ditzy (sometimes in a child-like way) however sometimes some form of trigger (a random person usually: there is no links between the people who have set her off in the past), will walk past and her mood will instantly change, she will become paranoid and possesive, convinced the person is some how trying to hurt me or my sister. She will just stare at them, with a blank look across her face, sometimes she may approach them (which can be quite awkward) and prefers to be left alone by my family at this point; she has snapped at us in the past
- She also talks (mumbles) to herself quite frequently, especially about certain subjects, such as past boyfriends and referring to myself and my sister as “snow white princesses”

I am 22 weeks pregnant. Prior to pregnancy, I smoked about 20 cigarettes a day, since I found out I was pregnant I smoke about 10 cigarretes a day. Yes, I receive prenatal care and take prenatal vitamins. My doctor is aware of the smoking and has me on a plan to decrease gradually. When I quit “cold” turkey, my BP went high and anxiety levels went up, so we are on a plan to decrease cigs. My baby appears healthy in the womb and there are no concerns that the dr has. Has anyone ever experienced this and could not quit?? I LOVE my son and only want the best for him and that is why we are decreasing slowly.
