My sister and her husband want to start trying. She is in the process of situating meds to something safe in pregnancy, so she is more emotional. I am 37 weeks pregnant right now, dont suffer from depression. I am trying to be someone she can talk to, but I am afraid I may make her feel worse.

Do you have any good support websites or online forums, etc so she can talk to others in the same situation?

I’ve had depression since 11 but I was always busy with sports and school and friends so I never ended up on medication until after graduation. I took it for years and then I got off it shortly before I got pregnant. I managed pretty well thru the pregnancy with only a few anxiety attacks. Well I had her 5 days ago and the 3rd night (when we got to come home) I had a breakdown. I couldn’t stop crying because I felt sooo helpless that I couldn’t get HER to stop crying even with feeding, etc. My husband wants me to talk to someone and I told him give me one more week and if I keep having this problem I would. Are there any support groups for new mothers that aren’t sure they HAVE ppd? I think it’s just the normal “omg I’m overwhelmed” thing because I love her more than anything. I’m not a danger to myself or to her. Where can I find other mothers like myself that I can talk to without having to go seek medical treatment for something I don’t think I need to? I don’t want nemore meds.
