When I had my first, 18 yrs ago I didnt realize what I was going through. We made a major move 2 weeks after baby was born, I was 19. For several months I had the most crazy thoughts pop into my head, for example to check under the car to see if the baby was there even though he was sitting right next to me. And far worse stuff.
I am sure it was the more extreme PPD that I was experiencing but I was scared to tell hubby. I never went through that again with my other children, just the weeping about 2-3 days later when the hormones were a mess.
I really agree that getting out in the sun, vitamins (I read something about lack of niacin), sleep and eating good would help a lot. I think I was really depleted emotionally and physically when it was the worst for me.
Its so good that it talked about now so woman can realize what is happening.
