Anti-depressant during postpartum

I took antidepressants after my second baby and honestly it really helped me get back to feeling like myself again. My gynae was the one who prescribed it and she was very reassuring that it was safe, so please don't feel shy to talk to your doctor or gynae about how you are feeling. So many mamas go through this and there is no shame in getting help, you are doing the right thing by asking. Sending you lots of support, you are not alone in this.

Antidepressants probably saved my life. I was on them before I got pregnant but increased the dosage after I had the baby. It can get worse before it gets better. Also you may need to try several meds before you find one that works well.
