When I had my son, I think I did have a bit of postpartum depression, but what I really got were horrible migraines. My son was about a month old and one AM I woke up to the worst headache I ever had. My mum was away on vacation, but I called one of her friends. She took the baby until my hubby came home from work. Had Mum been home she could have explained all about migraines.
I had really bad postpartum depression after I had my daughter, but I didn't understand what it was. Migraines and a case of pneumonia when my daughter was a few months over masked my symptoms. It wasn't until the PPD was basically over until I realised I'd had it.
