Post Dates and PPD

[Pernillep]

I am closing in on officially being postdates. I am 41weeks2 days today.
I have been noticing at my hormones are getting extremely crazy and I am feeling really down. I know that when I get depressed I sleep, trying to ignore the problem and all I want to do is be alone and sleep right now. I am weepy and angry at the same time.

Anyone know if there is a connection between going post dates and the possibility of PPD. I am seeing some signs right now that is worrying me and I want to make sure I catch it before it happens. Midwife and hubby is on watch.
I went to 41,1 with DS and was fine. I remember the last few days were hard but nothing like this.

I have no idea if there's a link between the two, but .

My emotions are getting harder to manage too and I was due Aug 10. I went a full 43 with ds.

I can say that people constantly asking and watching and asking is really a legitamit downer and is making me angry. What kinda makes it worse is that I was pretty sure I wouldn't go so long this time... I've been in prodromal labor for nearing 4 weeks.

We just have to hang in there and I am totally with you on the management side of this... good for you to be so aware, as I am doing this also and keeping up with StJohnsWort for now.... perhaps Zoloft again after

I felt exactly as you describe last week. The baby came at dawn on 41+3. I'm 4 days pp now and feel perfectly normal. The closest I've come to any craziness was some anxiety when I took DS to the park on day 2. But I was still pretty crampy and convalescent-feeling. Chin up, mama, I had exactly the same concern but so far it was unfounded. And for the record I'm a placenta-intactivist and so didn't ingest anything to ward against PPD. Didn't get it last time, either...knock wood!
