Hi am just wondering if anybody has any experience of a past history of depression and then becoming pregnant. I am concerned that my midwife or health visitor when visiting the house (post natally) will mention in front of my family or OH about my pmh of depression. Now my family and OH are aware that I have suffered etc and tried to help me in the past. My OH and his family are not ones for medication their culture etc etc, I cant be bothered to argue some people are just ignorant. I have taken medication so therefore I know it works. What I want to know is when the midwife or HV comes to my house will they question me about depression in front of my OH and/or family ? The questions that they have to ask about your past history etc. I have no problem mentioning past history but I would rather nobody knew I took medication. I know some people are probably going to say but you should tell your OH everything etc etc but I dont want to.
Do they have notes about you when they visit or are they going on the answers you give them to questions.
Thanks
