[quote=Anonymous]I had PPD/A after my first. I started seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist (recommended by my OB and part of their team) while I was pregnant with DC2. It helped that I had 2 appointments with the psychiatrist before birth and one scheduled for 2 weeks after my due date so it was on the calendar and I didn’t have to think about it. I also had done all the intake and getting to know you before baby was born. Same with the therapist, who specialized in PPD. There’s a certification but I can’t recall what it is called. Anyway she really helped me work through some pre-birth anxiety and come up with some options in advance for handling potentially tricky situations. And she provided a lot of support after baby was born, during maternity leave. But truly what helped me was finding the right medication, and figuring out how to sleep in 5 hour stretches, which didn’t happen for a few months. [/quote]
