It wasn't pretty at first but he's finally starting to come around these last few months/weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-depression#post-86259 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 22:35:44 +0000 MsMamaBear 86259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a little depression, but not PPD full blown. It's hormones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-depression#post-86211 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:39:15 +0000 tequiero21 86211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i have prenatal syndrome. i'm really not enjoying pregnancy =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-depression#post-86199 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:31:34 +0000 venice4504 86199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hormones. Granted hormones can do a lot of things and make you feel like you don't have the baby but it's hormones. And it can be scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-depression#post-86190 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:23:53 +0000 heffalump 86190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have it, but I feel like hormones probably have a lot to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-depression#post-86179 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 17:49:07 +0000 Rubies 86179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had/have PPD. I will be posting my experience on my blog on Monday, actually. I have a history of depression but my PPD was brought on because I had such high expectations for myself (I thought mommyhood would come naturally for me and when it didn't, I felt like a bad mother). I also equated LO's crying with my being a bad mother for not being able to soothe her. SIGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-depression#post-86169 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 17:27:21 +0000 Andrea 86169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My close friend had it and I think it was because she didn't feel any kind of bond to her son at first. She went through counseling and got better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-depression#post-86151 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 17:03:33 +0000 pastemoo 86151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am curious about this, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-depression#post-86143 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 16:57:28 +0000 mediagirl 86143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you have PPD? If so, what do you think brought it on? I wonder if it can come on because you no longer feel the baby anymore - even though logically you know you have the baby in your arms. </p>
