Then the kids won't know and Matt will be forewarned.<br /><br />And the password can't be "Help", make it something clever, like "I love you more than life itself", then you kill two birds with one stone, he feels great and you get the added help you need.thotladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877043721001181462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-36035059371334521212015-03-14T10:27:41.351-05:002015-03-14T10:27:41.351-05:00Hey deary.....It's just the mother hen, checki...Hey deary.....It's just the mother hen, checking in. I know we only have met a few times, but you should know you can call me !! I would help you out in any way I can. You are going thru alot right now. I'm glad you have the blog so you can unload. Hopefully it helps. Now about that depression....you have to let your dr. know. Be prepared...that's what I say. When I had my third, I was terrified. Would it happen again? What if it was worse? My dr. was with me all the way. We weren't going to let it grab me again. Guess what.....no depression !! Amazing ! None after the 4th either. So it can go both ways. Once PPD does not mean always PPD.<br />You take care. I know Andrea will keep me posted.jnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06934615563933117184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-24421464037927722652015-03-13T21:56:36.858-05:002015-03-13T21:56:36.858-05:00Poor you.Babies have been known to cause internal ...Poor you.Babies have been known to cause internal bruising from kicking so much. My niece's sister-in-law had one of her ribs broken from a baby kick. Ouch!<br />I remember being told by a nurse I looked seven months pregnant when I was only 5. Makes one feel all warm and fuzzy.<br />When I look back, I think I may have have PPD. I just went through the motions, but didn't feel as bonded to my child as I should probably have.<br />Take care.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-73976567777910044772015-03-13T21:31:14.063-05:002015-03-13T21:31:14.063-05:00You are almost there, girl!

Depression can be a scary thing. I went through it hard-core after the twins were born and in retrospect it's a big, black, dark time in my memory. I wonder if the doctor can recommend herbal remedies?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14776756378201854598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-26483196396231598152015-03-13T14:02:58.548-05:002015-03-13T14:02:58.548-05:00There were parts where I chuckled (free fall boobs...There were parts where I chuckled (free fall boobs LMAO) reading this post but there were also times where I grimaced and made sad faces. <br /><br />Coming from someone that comes in and out of depression every few years, do take care of yourself and don't try and shove it under the rug. You don't need or deserve to do that to yourself. Hormones are a bitch. No I don't have kids but I've had whacko hormones in my time. Not to mention STRESS can do some wicked shit to you. <br /><br />Don't be so hard on yourself and try to be more gentle and kind to yourself. You've been through and are going through a lot and you're juggling a ton of things and wearing many hats in the household.<br /><br />I seriously want to go back and read back from day one when you started this blog but I don't have enough time. I seriously do look forward to learning more about you. ;) <br /><br />xoxThe Flynniganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13938230221615097086noreply@blogger.com
