I've always been curious, are the meds they give for PPD similar/same to regular anti-d's or are they different? Since PPD is presumably more influenced by hormones...

According to the Clinical Knowledge Summary for PPD, unless you are breastfeeding, it should be treated in the same way as for "regular" depression.

If you're breastfeeding I think then the possible medications are limited.

I presume the key difference is that the hormones assosciated with having a baby can knock other hormones out of balance resulting in depression and then usually anti-depressants help "reset" them so to speak. (But I realise that is a gross oversimplification of something very complex.)

Glam, Miss M is exactly the same way, although she insists on being walked places because she refuses to walk without her hand held. I think calling it the terrible 2s is a dreadful case of overoptimism because it seems to start very early. I'm glad your OH is doing much more too.

Tia it's a diptheria/tetanus/Hep B/something else booster and she's getting meningococcus as well. I don't know what the schedule is there *shrugs*

Will have a look for the cosy hooded scarf, but if you voted in the Bounty competition your £10 voucher won't be far away.

WM - no worries about the poem just thought I'd offer, did you use cello bags? if so which ones am still umming and ahhing on size!

Som, I used the cone shaped cello bages. I double bagged them. Hot chocolate in one, tied, then put inside another, then added the choc chips and marsh-mellow. I've had to cut a lot off, as i made small cones, for one serving, as they have been made for children.

Sorry for bad nights, had one myself, too tired to explain it all, but needless to say, two days and nights of non-stop drinking is not a good thing for OH and therefore me either. Ice cold, frost has descended on our household once again. And there are not enough expletives in this world to describe him at the moment.

Glam, hope you start to feel better soon.

I am terrifeid of the terrible twos and The Far More Terrible Three's that makes the terrible twos look like an optimistic practice run. Amber is far more vocal than the boys but either she is not as bad or I've just had practice and stopped caring... Chris was a horror. So much so I had nightmares that he was actually the son of satan and everytime I siad Jesus he projectile vomitted.

Today's Groupon, Scottish ladies, is a 2 hour Bird of Prey experience for £24 instead of £60, if anyone's interested.

Edit: Southampton ladies, yours today is a full house clean for £30 instead of £100.
