… please don’t read too much into this, but does anyone know anything about postnatal depression in relation to non bio mothers?
Any references/info would be gratefully received.
Ta!

no, but have wondered about it myself as non-bio mum – see my whingy post here

I feel a lot better now than I did then – I really loved the post that said that my relationship to her is pure love – that helped me so much – feel free to mail me if you think it would help

Can’t give you any links or info but our GP thinks that it may well be what Lazyboo is going through right now.
And I vaguely remember reading something about research lately on PND in fathers.
Hope y0u’re all ok.

Ask Trista. I think she mentions it in our book.

Yes. I would google under “adoptive postpartum depression.” It happens when you have wanted something so much that it over whelms you when you get it.
Having had postpartum depression….talk to a doctor….take the pills…in a few weeks you will feel much better…AND you WON’T have to take the pills forever…4-6 months…
