I never had PPD with any of my births. I had SEVERE DEPRESSION after surrendering, but since it was 6 mos after giving birth, I know it was NOT phsyiological/hormonal as PPD is.
I had anxieity to the point of almost paralyzing fear when I brought home my first son subsequent to the surender and had to change his first diaper with his circumcision bandage and all. I heard the tapes in my head saying I was not fit to be a mother.... That others were more derserving. I called my neighbor - mother of five -- and she was wonderful. She did NOT change him for me, as I asked her to, she just stood there and very calmly assured me, saying: You can dioit!
After that, I was fine!
