I had my daughter in August and I got ppd after she was born. The dr gave me a zoloft perscription which seemed to somewhat help. but not completely.. So ladies, is it normal to get ppd?

    I developed PPD after the birth of my daughter. It was discovered that in my case postpartum thyroiditis was the underlying cause. Let your doctor know that you still aren't feeling well. Postpartum depression is not something to be taken lightly.

    I couldn't genuinely enjoy my son's birthday until he was 6 yo!

    Keep going back to the doctor until you are able to function happily and enjoy your child.
