Postpartum Depression and the Symptoms to Look ForThe birth of a baby can generate all sorts of emotions from the new mom.

So, what exactly causes the onset of depression after giving birth? Although there is no one certain thing that causes the depression, there are a couple of factors that may have a part in it. Changes in the BodyAfter giving birth, a woman's chemistry changes dramatically. The levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone take a huge drop after giving birth. The hormones of the thyroid gland also drop, which can make a woman feel more tired and have less energy, which can be a big reason for depression. Also, there are changes in a woman's immune system, metabolism, and blood volume after giving birth. All of these changes which happen quickly after birth can lead to postpartum depression. Lifestyle FactorsThere are plenty of lifestyle factors that can lead to depression after giving birth. Things such as financial trouble, problems in a marriage, career stress, a demanding household, not enough help with the baby, or difficulty breastfeeding can all potentially lead to problems with depression for a new mom. Also, women who have suffered from depression in the past are more likely to suffer from it again after giving birth. Emotional FactorsEveryone knows that a pregnant woman can be very emotional, but after giving birth is a huge emotional rollercoaster as well. Adding to the mix of emotional triggers is sleep deprivation and being overwhelmed. Other things such as being disappointed with your body or struggling with your own sense of identity may also play a part in fueling depression. It is important that a woman who is suffering from depression gets help right away for it. The sooner she gets help, the sooner she can return back to her normal self and provide the care that her baby needs. Here are the symptoms that one needs to be on the lookout for:
If you or anybody you know has these symptoms of postpartum depression, especially the thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, you need to seek medical attention right away. No one is going to judge you and just because you suffer from depression, it does not make you a bad or inadequate mother. It just needs to be taken care of so, you can properly take care of your family. Related to Labor and Delivery

I would like to add a testimonial regarding the test. I took the gender prediction test back in February of 2007 when I had just found out I was pregnant to find out what my husband and I were going to have. We found out we were having a baby girl according to your baby gender predictor test. You're test results were right on, the ultrasound confirmed it, and our beautiful baby girl was born in November 2007. I recommend your site to everyone I know having a baby! What a different and amazing way to find out what you are having! Thank you!
I went on your website by chance last July after finding out we were expecting our second child. We had a boy already and it didn't matter what sex this one was and I viewed your baby gender predictor test as a bit of fun. Your answer was a girl the opposite of the 'Chinese charts' that everyone raves about. The three scans that we had were inconclusive so we had to wait for a surprise... You were correct I gave birth to a beautiful girl as predicted by you. Well done and I will be recommending your site to friends who would like to try for a child. Thank you
