Long story short, I have been depressed; a fairly mild case but enough to affect things. We can't afford for me to go on anti-depressants and after I give birth, when I'm 99% sure I'll have PPD again, I have no doctor to prescribe meds (I go to a prenatal clinic for my pregnancy). I've taken Saint John's Wort in the past with sucess so I'm quite sure it would work for me.
I've looked and looked online and see that SJW is relatively safe for breastfeeding which is good as I'm still nursing DS, but it doesn't really say much about pregnancy except in one case that it's potentially a uterotonic.
I trust the judgement of the mama's here so would you take Saint John's Wort in pregnancy? I'm 33.5 weeks pregnant right now.
Thanks for your help!!
