I was just wondering if there were any March mommies that ended up being diagnosed with Post Pardum? I had my little girl March 25th.. and was diagnosed with Post Pardum about 2 months ago.. just wondering if anyone was going through the same thing?

ladies I know what you are all going through too, i first had ppd after my first son in 2000 but wasn't diagnosed or treated so it developed further being pushed on by emotional abuse by my ex husband. It got so bad I tried to commit suicide nearly 4 years ago.
It was a huge concern for me when i fell pregnant again but luckily my gp is excellent. I have suffered again but it's under control. Like you two my husband works long hours, he's a farmer, and I live in a foreign country without any of my family. I did take an antidepresser for a few weeks but much prefer using the homeopathic remedies that I have alongside a good chat with my gp or with my sister whom I found 2 months after the birth of my son (we were adopted by seperate families and had not seen each other since we were toddlers and that was 28 years ago).
How we have been feeling is very common and we shouldn't be embarrassed or ashamed, if any of you want to chat, or a helping hand I'm always here xx

I am in the same boat.. my husband works crazy long hours.. and his busiest time is the summer.. so it has made it even worse... we also lived about an hour from his work... but we decided to move closer so that i was still close to family.. but he only had about half the drive.. it made it 1000x better for us... i have the best little girl.. but i just didn't feel that way at all... i felt like i had made a huge mistake... i have been put on medication.. but i haven't tried therapy yet... my dr suggested attending mommy groups as well cause my baby is so active.. and that would give her a chance to interact with other babies and me to interact with other moms and it has helped incredibly!!! i love it.. i look forward to thursday mornings now!
best of luck! and if you ever want to share stories or talk.. message me!!! i can always use a talk! .. thanks for responding as well.. i know a lot of the time i was feeling embarassed and didn't want ppl to know how i was feeling.. so i didn't seek help..but i have been told lots of moms go through the same thing..
best of luck!!!

My little girl was born on March 19th, and I was diagnosed about 2 moths ago also. It has been hard especially since I'm a stay at home mom, and my husband works about 50 to 60 hours a week. It has gotten a little better, therapy has helped tremendously and I let my sister keep her a couple nights a month. It helps to just have me time. Good luck and you will make it through.
