I don't want to lose my baby?!
Question: I don't want to lose my baby.?
ok this is worrying me, i think i might have postpartum depression i have a six month old baby boy he is my life! i want to start off by saying i have never felt to harm myself or my baby or anyone else. ok well for the past few weeks i have been feeling more down than usual i have been fighting with my partner over stupid little things and i turn it into a big argument where i nearly walk out every time. i don't want to leave my partner i love him so much but when i get in moods like this i feel there is no other option i never leave because i start feeling guilty that i will be taking his son away from him. i have no family that lives near me as they have moved away. i love my baby with all my heart and would NEVER hurt him or myself but when he gets upset and cries i get upset and frustrated especially when i am tired which is most of the time (only lately i have been tired) i am going to my doctor this afternoon but im scared they will think of me a risk to my baby and take him off me. please help...Health Question & Answer

tell your man your sorry for the way you are acting, and ask him for help.. let him know you are having problems you cant understand and want him to still love you through it all. sometimes letting it out and admitting you are having issues and letting him comfort you will help you feel better...you should definitely stay in close contact with your doctor so he can give you the help you needHealth Question & Answer
What you are feeling is completely normal. Little babies are trying little things! You are sleep deprived and stressed out and still recovering from pregnancy. Don't worry, you are normal and nobody will want to take away your baby. Ask for some medicine- you'll be glad you did!Health Question & Answer

Lots of people have the same problem. Post Partum depression. Go see (or call) your DR. They can give u some meds to make u feel much better.Health Question & Answer
I feel so bad for you! That's a terrible feeling.
Post partum depression is actually way more common than people think it is. You absolutely don't need to worry about your doctor taking your son, because they will see that you have PPD, and treat it as such. There are special circumstances where the mother has hurt herself, or the baby, and that's a cause for serious concern because if you have that many problems then it would of course be quite difficult to care for a baby.
It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, and are thinking clearly as far as the safety of your little boy goes. Your doctor will probably describe you appropriate antidepressants and after taking them I'm sure things will go right back to the way they were before the baby came. Of course, they might not, and the problems between you and your partner could continue. If that's the case, then seeing a counsellor might be a better route to take. Sometimes you need help dealing with the people you love to death.
Good luck at your appointment!Health Question & Answer

OB/Gyns understand that women get postpartum depression. I have felt the same way. I have a 6 month old and I definitely had a hard time after the 1st few months. My mood changes suddenly and I get frustrated. I asked my dr and she told me to take SAM-e. It is a vitamin that stimulates your brain. It is good for your joints too. I haven't actually bought it yet but I need to. It is a little expensive but not too bad. It is about $35 I think for 30 pills. I also sat down and wrote my feelings on paper. I know it may be silly to do it that way but it helps. I got everything off of my chest without being interrupted and I just let my husband read it. I don't know if you stay at home with your baby but it helps..A LOT...to get out of the house, with or without your baby. It is really important to have you time. It really gets depressing sitting at home all day and make sure your partner does their part. Health Question & Answer
