Hi there. I had depression with my first child, now 7, and it took 2 years to feel good again. I came off the tablets and life was great. I fell pregnant again and everything was still good untill 1 week after i gave birth, the depression was back. Ive been on tablets again for 3 1/2 years. My health visitor told me that when you've had depression once, it is 85 % possible to get again sometime in life. If you are feeling like your not coping, go and see yiur GP, it doesnt mean your not a good mum, im sure your a great mum and its even better that you realise that you need a little help again, thats half the battle of fighting depression, realising that you have it again. I hope ive been of some help, and dont worry, you will feel better real soon, you just need someone to talk to and a little help
