Huh. I so do not want to eat anything that looks like my placenta did, but I do fall on the Western-medicine end of the spectrum.
That being said, I started struggling with depression toward the end of my pregnancy. Most of it was situational, and I knew it, but it was still no fun to live with. Since I had PPD after Baz, and found that a low dose of Zoloft helped me get back to being me, my midwife and I agreed to start me on Zoloft during the pregnancy. That way, I didn't have to wait for the efficacy period to pass, because I was covered before I gave birth. I figure I'll stay on for about three months, and then see how I'm doing.
