My best friend had her second child (big age gap between 1st and 2nd) just over a week ago. Not only is she still suffering from gender disappointment, shes experiencing PPD.

I've never experienced PPD, even with having 4 kids and pregnant again. So I'm not experienced there. I'm looking for ways to help her, as shes reached out to me looking for help. Here's the problem. I'm due to have my own child tomorrow - but baby will be here by Tuesday. I'm extremely swollen and in physical pain so I cannot offer to watch the baby while she sleeps, cook or do anything to physically help her right now. I cant even go for a visit as my vehicle had to break down at the worse possible time.

So aside from offering an ear, is there anything I can do? Shes on medications already but says it makes her feel worse but shes waiting it out to see if they're eventually help.
