> followed (presumably!) by happiness

Baby blues and postnatal depression are common, even among people who've been through fertility treatment. Indeed, those people may find it harder to seek help because of the assumptions that they must be happy after all that struggle.

(Also, about 1 in 10 men have postnatal depression.)




This is true, but two years down the track one would hope this had passed. I know that long term health problems do occur but I don't think anyone would describe them as post-natal depression or baby blues at that point.


Postnatal depression is most common 4 years after the birth.
