i just gave birth 3 days ago on 1/18/07 to a beautiful little girl. Now the question that keeps popping up in my mind is what now? what is there to do besides take care of her and love her. could that be considered as PPD and if so how do i fix it.
Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! Sounds to me like normal concerns, everyone wonders how to go about being a good parent! Now take good care of yourself and make sure you take naps, the post partum blues are often simply caused by lack of sleep (in addition to the hormonal havoc!!)
All the best

I guess the answer to that is that there is nothing to do but take care of her and love her. Since you already have two children, you know how fast it all goes. You know for three months she's just going to sleep and eat and poop. Enjoy it. I think some kind of depression is always there, lurking. Unless you have other more serious symptoms, I would say just hold the baby and know you're doing enough. All she need right now is you.
CONGRATULATIONS! I dont think so. I think u are having regular baby jitters. It is different when u are all alone and then a new entry in life has come. It takes alot to get used to. As long as ur concerns are not dangerous toward ur baby then u are not having post partum depression.
Probably not PPD. Most women have the same exact feelings after having their 3rd.
