Watching The Steve Harvey show and this new mom is suffering with post partum depression. She is so raw and honest and real. I feel so bad for her. Shes just so sad. She's getting the help she needs from her dr. and her dh seems to be very supportive. It just made me tear up to see someone in agony over something they clearly have no control over, but feel responsible for anyway. I hope she gets better.

After my third child I had horrible post partum that last two plus years. Prozac helped but I was not quite the same after, maybe because I let it go on so long? Anyway, my marriage started to suffer. I started drinking away my problems. Endresult, I ended up in a rehab. I do not blame my third child but I definitely feel we have a different relationship that I do with my first two. I was a checked out mom for so many yeasr.

I remember when I was in the later stages of pregnancy and wanted some me time with my vibrator. As soon as it made contact with my body, my baby jumped around like never before! It was disturbing. Needless to say, I never followed through with that little session and I was off the vibe until post partum.

$5 says the chick bank robber gets off saying she has post partum psychosis. CALLING IT NOW!

Hey tom cruise maybe brook shields is single and will take you. You know she likes to medicate her post partum depression so she won't go insane and leave you. Or did Katie Holmes go on meds and become sane to leave you? I don't know I watched the glasses ad wih brook in it and quickly thought of that.

I have had a harder time adjusting emotionally to having two children than my older child. I know it is probably the post partum hormones, but I have been crying a lot and feeling so guilty about not being able to give the older one 100% of my attention, even though I do about the same amount of stuff with her as I did before. My DH keeps telling me what a great job I am doing with both kids. I think I just need to give myself some time to adjust.

I'm very happy with the fact that my stomach tightened up pretty fast after having my baby. At 3 weeks post partum, you could hardly tell I had a baby. However, my thighs and butt are still enormous and tiger striped with stretch marks everywhere.

We agreed to no kids. He's the one going back on his agreement. It's not "his" child, it's "ours". 50/50. And since I would be the 50% carrying it, giving up my life and career for nine months to nourish it, trying to deal with depression, anxiety and phobias and putting myself at huge risk of post partum depression, potentially ruining my body for life and most likely the one left holding the kid if we split which seems likely at this point, I think I'm the 50% that matters more in this equation. He hasn't treated me with respect in years, and now he expects me to birth a child for him.

Calling post partum depression 'the blues' is like calling contractions 'sensations'...

I bound my tummy after childbirth and sucked it in often. Still totally mangled. Not flat, horribly wrinkly from stretching out so much. No, I think abdominal exercises (that I don't do) are probably more likely to have an affect on your post partum tummy. Well, that an genetics.
