PND while pregnant - is it possible?

[Baysmum]

Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts or experience in this area. I have a ds now 16mnths, have had PND only fairly recently diagnosed, been feeling quite low and just decided to go for it and take prozac. THEN find out am 5 wks pg so cant really do the anti-ds. Dp thinks it is impossible to have PND while pg, last pregnancy felt fairly well but right now am totally emotional and shocked and wonderng what to do!!

it is.....i will try and find a link later....i think an mnetter set up a support group for ante natal depression

if your PND was not totally gone before you have become pregnant, you can remain depressed, if the chemical balance was not quite right ......there are safe ADs to take during pregnanct.

go and see gp / hv it is possible to ante natal depression as well as PND

have no experience of this personally but I seem to recall that yes it is certainly possible (I mean, if nowt else you can be depressed at any time)

but also that there is a mumsetter with a site about this? I think?

You must be all over the place. {{{nice vibes}}}

take care

there is filly...am going to try and find it!

You lot are fast (and good)! Website wd be helpful if you can locate it. Hoping that things may settle down once inital shock/hormone surge passes.

will get it tonight or tomorrow .......xx

this is the site

Thank you very much - aaaaargh
