Question by nickyninedoors: How long does it take for symptoms of postpartum depression to present themselves after birth?
I had a very crazy blue period where I wept constantly in the 7th month of my pregnancy. Now I’ve had the baby and have been at home for nine days – I’ve had sporadic moments of anxiety but nothing that resembles the depression I went through in my pregnancy…just wondered if I am in the clear or if post-partum may still present itself…? Any thoughts from others who have gone through it?

those hormones are intense and so until they are out of your body you can g et ppd. even a couple months later but by you being aware of it you are already headed in the right direction. I too had the anxiety right after my son was born but oddly just at night. I think the waking up every hr thing just threw me. I am 9 mos pp and I didnt have it but I admit that the hormones definately got me and I still blame them for mood swings here and tehre i want to get pg again so we keep saying everything will go back into place once I am again ha!
be well and you are most likely in the clear

Question by Logan N Alora’s Mommy: How long after having a baby does postpartum depression usually set in?
I was on the way to a store tonight and heard a sappy song on the radio and just broke down crying. My daughter is almost 5 months old and I have been fine other than that. Could it be postpartum or are my hormones still out of whack? I still get teary eyed at certain commercials which I did during pregnancy.

Postpartum depression does not have a time limit. Speak to someone about it. Goodluck!

Question by Scared_Mommy: Postpartum Depression-How long after baby is born can you get it?
How long after your baby is born can you get post partum depression? My son is almost 17months old and I feel like I am having signs or symptoms of it. I mean it could be a lot of other things, I am just not sure. So I wanted to check this off my list of things that it could be before I go down the road of trying to fix it when it isn’t it.

Answer by mrs garfield
it’s usually anywhere within the first few weeks to 3 or 4 months later after giving birth. you shouldn’t be having postpartum depression at 17 months old though. you could have regular clinical depression but i doubt postpartum
