Post-Partum - Suggestions for New Boards Message Board

LauraG · 08-30-2001, 10:48 PM

I Saw there was a message board for pregnany on this site, but pregnancy is only half the battle!!

After pregnancy comes post-partum depression, anxiety, phisical health concerns for women who have had vaginal or cecerian deliveries, and let us not forget the daunting task of nursing/feeding and taking care of our new borns.

There are a million questions to be asked in the months that follow the arrival of a baby, and I would truely like to see a place on Healthboards to post them.
It would also be a wonderful resource for new, or vetern parents to just be able to compare notes and boost their self confidence!

Please post here if you would like to see a room to express our concerns durring the months (or years) following the birth of our cildren!

Thanks,
Laura

I'll second that thought. I am still dealin with postpartum and my baby was born in december. It was bad that I had to be put on zoloft 50 mg. then 100 mg and then my doctor switched my meds to celexa. I'm now on wellbutrin because I also suffer from depression anyway. It'd be great to have a place to talk with other about this.

My last baby was also born in December, but I am still nursing and dealling with some other complications from being pregnant.

It sure would be nice to be able to talk to others with the same sort of difficulties...
