where did you hear about using that for depression. What about st johns wort, the only thing I read about it is that it could ruin the contraceptive in BCPs

I have a friend who had PPD who has studied it a lot, and has a website about it. Here's the link: http://www.rebuild-from-depression.com/

i'm so sorry for your loss, but please don't blame yourself!!! there was nothing that could have been done, even if u had immediately gone back to the hospital, it doesn't mean the horrible outcome would have changed. i have known several families with full-term infant loss, and unfortunately, there is not always anything anyone can do to save the baby. i will keep u in my prayers and hope that god gives u the strength that u need to get through this most difficult time. i agree with others in that u would benefit from talking to others either in ur same situation or from a medical professional, u should not have to go through this alone. losing a full term infant is much different than early miscarriage, and the pain can be unbearable. please know that others have been in the same situation and have eventually been able to move on to have more children, never forgetting the baby that they lost too soon. i pray that u are able to make it through this stressful time and hope that u will receive the guidance that u need.....

does anyone think that it is a bad idea to get a dog not really to replace him but to take care of ...I am thinking if I had something that depended on me I would feel more needed. And I ...i dont know how to explain it. But everyone else keeps telling me to hold off and i am thinking maybe there are reasons that I shouldnt. but I really want one right now. I am wondering if it would help me to get through this time a little better.

I think that you could think about it, and if you feel it is right for you then get a dog. Animals are wonderful to help us cope with depression, among other issues going on in our lives. They aren't always the answer, but they help some people. I personally already own a small army of animals, and they have helped me through many a tough spot in my life...
when I lost my baby this month I bought a tree and planted it in memory of my baby. I find myself staring at it often throughout the day...
What I am trying to say is that everyone copes in different ways. We can find comfort in a pet, a memorial, therapy... some people go about their normal lives to move through the pain, some can't do that and take time alone...
You need to do what you feel is best hun.
Many hugs to you, and my thoughts are with you.
And as I said before, do what you need to do for you.
I hope you can find comfort where you need it.
We can't make the pain go away, but we can try to make it easier... right?

Would you have considered a dog before? If so, then I think it could be good for you. Something to pour all your love and energy into. Animals are also very therapeutic, and very sensitive to emotion.

I think a dog might be a good idea. You might want to consider adopting a grown dog rather than a puppy, because a puppy takes so much energy.

The night I found out about our loss I passed out laying on one of our dogs. Animals are a wonderful comfort when you are mourning. They listen without saying all those awkward things that people tend to say.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know it's hard nott o take blame yourself but know that IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT. I did the same thing with my daughter. Take time to grieve for your son. There is nothing wrong with that. There is also nothing wrong with desireing to have another baby right away. what you are feeling is normal. I don't think I left my house for nearly a month after losing my daughter. My dh was so wonderful. He took my son to his work picnic , the local fair...etc I did not want to leave my house. I would scream at the top of my lungs when I was in the shower. It is the worst thing a parent would ever go through. take care of yourself.....grieve how you need to grieve. I like you would get up put my strong face/act on and go through the day...when reeally it felt as if I was dying inside. My OB said...Kelly...you know you don't have to be strong all of the time......There were days I would cry my eyes out. I can tell you this. It will get easier. My daughter would have turned 5 this year...I don't cry every day anymore ...but there are days even now when I do. It's normal. Take care of yourself and know that you will feel better. People who have not gone through a loss like this....don't understand...but they are just trying to help. Tons of people said to me...at least you knwo you can get PG now....it wasn't what I wanted to hear at the time...but it's true. You got PG....you had a beautiful baby boy...don't give up hope of having another Pregnancy. I had Alivia and got PG 4 times after. Take care of yourself....grieve for the son you lost and when you feel ready to conceive again it can happen. You are in my prayers......

Kelly

I don't know much about St John's Wort, other than it can cause sun sensitivity. Here is a link about Omega 3s and how good they are for the baby's brain:

Jakes_Angel, when my cousin's GF lost their baby stillborn at 39 weeks she got a dog not long after. A little puppy. It really helped her. I say, if you want to get a puppy then go for it.

Jakes_Angel

thank you rainy for your opinion in the matter...I have a question, what if the puppy gets hurt or she couldn't keep it is she too attached to it?
