i had PPD with one child and not the other...
i think the reason was the second was a LOT more stressful than the first... the first one i got plenty of sleep and stuff when she was born and we came home.. the second was like a drive thru .. i had to hurry home to the first one... and i never got enuf sleep and time to adjust...
im not looking for excuses.. my kids are now teens alive and well and annoying as teens are... i was just giving insight to PPD in general as it applied to me... as far as getting over it.. within 3 months i was OK... i seriously think i was just exhausted for the last month of the pregnancy and then the first 3 months of the second birth .. no meds.. (no im not xenu) i agree with above poster... it has degrees of severity
