More than the Baby Blues
After you have a baby, you may
have the baby blues. These are
normal mood swings due to
hormone changes. They should
not last more than 7 to 10 days.
But if you have mood swings or
feel sad or overwhelmed for longer
than that time, you could have
postpartum depression.
We will send you a survey to
see whether you are at risk for
postpartum depression. You should
get it by the time your baby is 1
week old. Please answer the survey
when your baby is about 2 weeks
old. If you do not get a survey in the
mail, call 1-419-887-2537. Leave
your name and address, and we will
send you a survey.
Getting help for postpartum
depression can make you feel better.
