Answers:
I had a C-section (unexpected AND unnecessary), and I had no PPD or even the baby blues!. I did, however, suffer from PTSD from being robbed of the chance of labor, the way I was treated by the hospital and my doctor, and not being allowed to see my daughter for 12 hours despite her perfect health!!!!!!!!!!! :(Www@Answer-Health@Com
