Is she nursing, or have her cycles

returned? If they’ve returned, are they normal?

OT:

Natural Remedies for Post-Partum Depression?

I have a client who is experiencing prolonged

depression after the birth

of her third child, who is almost 3 months

old. (She also had a lengthy

period of depression after her first baby -- about

8 months until she

" felt like herself again. " ) She

reports daily crying episodes and a

general feeling of the blues. She is

reluctant to see her doctor as she

does not wish to take prescription

medication. She has enquired about

natural or herbal remedies that may alleviate her

depression and be safe

for her nursing baby. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I've just researched non-perscription drug alternatives to treat depression, including post-partum. Fish oil, specifically the EPA portion of it, has been successful for many people. The recommended dosage is 1gram - 9 grams total of EPA and DHA combined with a preferable ratio of 2 to 1 EPA to DHA. Perfectly safe for pregnant as well as breastfeeding moms.

Dr. Hilgers has

had absolutely amazing success with natural progesterone injections for ppd. I have actually been through this with

quite a few clients. She can call

the Pope VI Institute, and the nurse will return her call and assess her

and determine if she would be a suitable candidate for their therapy. And there

is also a testimony tape from the conference held in Omaha this past Juy, from a patient who

achieved immediate and miraculous relief with the progesterone treatment. All

my clients have experience improvement, tho not all

have been immediate----some were!

Urge her to call them. This

is very serious, and in my experience the person suffering from PPD needs an

advocate to help them seek solutions----they are just too overwhelmed to do so

themselves.

YES. She must see a Psychiatrist!!!

It is all to common tha post-partum depression and medicines work very well for

it... You should reassure her that the prognosis is good, but it is non sense

not to take advantage of efficacious remedies to get back quicker to her life

and to a better care of her children and family.

Dr. Hilger's has had great success treating women with post-partum depression with natural progesterone. Go to the website directory at www.popepaulvi.com and look for a Creighton Model Practitioner or Medical Consultant in her area. The treatment is very simple and mother's report an immediate difference.

The newly released book from the Pope VI Institute, "Women Healed" is an excellent compilation of stories much like the woman you describe who have been healed using NaProTechnology. I highly recommend it!

Natural Progesterone. Check with a NFP physician. Dr. Hilgers has done much research with this and reports great success.

I disagree. I had severe depression for a

year after my daughter was born, and Dr. Hilgers progesterone shots worked

instantly. No expensive or embarrassing psychiatry visits necessary!

She is practicing ecological breastfeeding -- nursing on demand, sleeping with the baby, no bottles or pacifiers, the baby goes everywhere she goes. Her cycles have not returned; however, when she is cycling she experiences PMS and short luteal phases. Nonetheless, she has had three successful pregnancies with no hormonal supplementation or other treatment. No miscarriages.

Given her cycle history, it sounds as if she may respond very favorably to progesterone therapy, as has been advised by a number of you. I'm sure she will be very encouraged by these suggestions.

Thanks to all for the great and speedy responses,
