My Women just gave birth to our first child; She is showing signs of postpartum depression. I NEED ADVICE?

I want to help it out not make it worse any advice women??? WHAT NOT TO DO. ALSO WHAT TO DO.My Women just gave birth to our first child; She is showing signs of postpartum depression. I NEED ADVICE?
First call her your wife not your woman. Also, help her with the baby, as much as you can. Give her some time by herself to get out of the house and find a few minutes each day that she is not 100% responsible for the baby.


Check out a website such as the one below to see if her symptoms match postpartum depression, and what is available to you both.My Women just gave birth to our first child; She is showing signs of postpartum depression. I NEED ADVICE?
Quick, call her Dr. Also, help out every minute you can in the meantime.
call your doctor, and i think its nice to care about your woman this much!!





good luck and god bless!!!!
Please just call her doctor! there is nothing you can do except be supportive and get her some help.
Get her to her ob/gyn asap!!!!! Let the dr. know what is going on, make a phone call. She may need some med for awhile-that is okay. I am so glad you are there-and so concerned for her. Be there to help her with the baby as much as possible. And more so, if possible. The sooner you get her to the dr., and on a med, the better. Thank you for caring so much for your woman, and your baby. I wish you all the best. Take care.
Do not leave her side. Discuss your concerns with her and have her see her OB as soon as possible.
You need to talk her into seeing a professional and soon. As crazy as it may seem woman have killed their babies during post-partum and i meen normal loving woman!
Listen to her and try to let her know that she is not alone in all of this. Even if you are helping, it can still feel lonely for an emotional woman. Make time for just the two of you to sit and talk or if she doesn't feel like talking, watch TV...whatever. Hold her. When she is making dinner or doing dishes or laundry come up behind her and put your arms around her. Little things really add up and let her know that you are there for her.
Most insurance companies have mandatory testing now for postpartum. Make sure her testing is scheduled immediately. if she is having postpartum, she is going to need help.
Postpartum depression can be severe. You may want to call the doctor.
First, take her to see a doctor. They can treat postpartum depression. Aside from that what you can do is help her with the baby and make sure she gets enough rest. Try to be understanding of what she is going through.
Depression is a real condition. Its not something she or you can fix, its like if you had gangrene on your foot; and it hurt really bad, wouldn't you go to the doctor for medication? There is no shame in antidepressants. Zoloft is a pretty good one, causes slight dependence, but its worth it. I'll give you some of the side effects (for me anyway) It killed my appetite, and my sex drive. it cleared my skin, and seriously made me unable to feel anything but happy during an extremely stressful time. It was my wonder drug! Kind of hard to get off of, you need to slowly wean off of it. But like I said, if you need it, then take it! Talk to the doctor, because its not advised to take if your breast feeding. Good Luck!
I agree with what the person mentioned before, call the doctor. Also depending where you live, the sun has A %26amp; D vitamins, which helps a lot. Also some times a class of orange juice, or cranberry juice. Another helpful ad is sound and smell. Not total rock and not from the ice age music. Take care of the baby for her and let her take bubble bath, moniter. And please ask you doctor, most woment, need to know one thing IT IS OKAY. EVERYTHING IS OK, SHE MUST HAVE YOUTH, AND THAT IS OKAY. HONEST. ITS OKAY.
GO TO A DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Call the doctor, do not walk RUN to the phone. Its not something that can be put off and it needs to be dealt with right away.
