How soon is too soon ?

Question

How soon can post partum depression start ? I'm still pregnant but I fear it's already starting with me 😭💔

Answer

Mine started right after. I had no idea what was happening so I kept it quiet and tried to manage it on my own.  talk to your doctor, they can help, managing it yourself is really stupid and you'll lose so many happy memories with your baby because of the depression and anxiety.

Answer

Some people get depressed while pregnant.  My postpartum started right after baby.... maybe that evening?  It's because your hormones drop. After I knew that it was normal,  I was able to deal with it. I talked to my dr. And found a new mom's group to join. Vest of luck! And it will get better. It may not feel like it, but it will ☺

Answer

Postpartum only starts after birth. Antepartum depression can start while pregnant.

Answer

You can experience prenatal depression as a precursor to postpartum depression. Prenatal depression can also lift shortly after giving birth.

You should talk to your OB about it either way though because it can become serious if left untreated in some people.
