I'm trying to be very realistic and prepare for being depressed and/or anxious after the birth of this baby. I had some depression issues w/ dc1 and PP anxiety issues w/ dc2. With her, I had dried and encapsulated her placenta, took that in the beginning, but hate taking pills (the ones I made were huge too!), so I didn't take them regularly enough to really help when I needed. Though I do feel they helped w/ the immediate transition time.
Anyway, with this baby, we are moving very soon after the birth, very far away, and I'm anticipating a lot of emotions to deal with and trying to stay on top of them..... I'm planning on making placenta caps again (buying a much smaller size pill maker too!!), and I was wondering what else I can have on hand to help? My previous mw told me to take some fish oil caps, and I did a bit, but I don't know if they helped or if I took them regularly..... I keep seeing the ads here on the MDC banner for taking after the baby--can't remember what it is.... But it seems like quite a system and lots of pills. Not sure if I would take them all....
Thanks! If there's a better place to ask this question, LMK!
