Can you get post-natal depression after a miscarriage?

[craftymum01]

I had my second 2nd trimester miscarriage in August and since I’ve felt a bit ‘meh’ about everything. I don’t teally know how to describe it I just don’t conpmetely feel like myself. I wonder if I’m just a bit hormonal still or if it’s something else. Has anyone heard of PND after a loss?

Sorry for all the typos! Stupid phone

Sorry no experience of it. Perhaps it’s grief? I’m sure your GP will be able to sign post you. Sorry for your loss

I don’t know but after my miscarriage I was depressed for a long time afterwards. Of course I didn’t appreciate how much at the time. It’s only now looking back I can see I really wasn’t okay at all. Speak to your GP, they can help and link you with counselling, etc. I’m sorry for both your losses

I would not worry about putting a label on it. It's completely natural that you would be suffering grief or depression after this sort of loss. Either way, I agree with PPs that it would be entirely reasonable to seek support.

PND isn't a special type of depression, it's just the timing. So really you're asking if it's possible to be depressed after a loss, and of course it is. Best thing would be to see your GP who can chat through the support available, whether that's medicinal or therapeutic.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I think I will go to the gp. Can’t seem to pull myself out of this slump and maybe just talking to someone would help. I’m starting to frustrate myself

Op you’ve been through a very traumatic event. It is natural to grieve. Seeing your GP to see what support you can get seems wise.
