Review

"Kleiman's unflinching authority, emotional eloquence and skillful writing make this book a must." -- Elizabeth Goldman, MD Clinical Associate, Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania

"What Am I Thinking" is a landmark contribution to our growing understanding about making a woman's choices truly informed. -- Jane Israel Honikman, M.S., Founder, Postpartum Support International (PSI), Co-Founder, Postpartum Education for Parents (PEP

"What a precious gift to women who have suffered the agonies of postpartum depression. This new book gives them hope." -- Helena M. Bradford, Chm The Ruth Rhoden Craven Foundation for Postpartum Depression Awareness

Product Description

For many women, having a baby delivers all the profound joy they anticipated and brings happiness beyond description. For women who experience depression after the birth of a baby, this joy can seem elusive. Instead, women with postpartum depression (PPD) are often gripped with feelings of deep sadness, confusion, anxiety, and despair, and they are deprived of their anticipated joy in their first precious months with their baby. At some point, the question of having another baby arises. If you ask a woman in the throes of a depression this question, she may say, no. No more children. If you ask a woman who has recovered from postpartum depression if she wants more children, she may say, yes, but I’m scared to go through that again. This book was written to accompany these women on their journey toward a subsequent pregnancy after postpartum depression. What Am I Thinking contains essential information for a woman and her family who plan on having another baby after a previous experience with postpartum depression. As these women know, planning another pregnancy can be a process filled with profound anxiety, indecision, fears, and self-doubt. What if I get depressed again? What if it’s worse this next time? What if something terrible happens? What if I’m making a mistake? Filled with self-help strategies, current treatment recommendations, and practical advice, this book offers women the hope, confidence, and support they need to make this journey in spite of their anxiety. With this resource and available knowledge in hand, they are likely to feel more empowered, enabling them to proceed with confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars The author knew what I was thinking, April 25, 2005
This review is from: What Am I Thinking? Having a Baby After Postpartum Depression (Paperback)
I remember saying aloud "What am I thinking?" when I became pregnant with my second child after a previous struggle with postpartum depression. I couldn't imagine having to go through it again. I had read Karen Kleiman's first book "This Isn't What I Expected" and it helped me immensely. I saw that she had another book and my own words caught my attention. "What am I thinking? " My questions and my fears and the issues that frightened me so were addressed in this book. Karen's book has helped to alleviate some of my fears and has taught me what I need to know as I welcome my second child into my family. I will read it again before my new baby is born. This is a must read for anyone who has struggled with PPD and wonders how she might handle having another baby. Thank you, Karen.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Am I Thinking? Having a baby Atfer Pospartum Depression, July 12, 2006
This review is from: What Am I Thinking? Having a Baby After Postpartum Depression (Hardcover)
After suffering a long battle with postpartum depression my husband and I were very nervous about having more children. I read the book then shared it with him. We were able to use the tools it gives to have conversations that enabled us to make an informed decision. This year we welcomed our wonderderful new son. Easy to read and very usable book. As the director of a PPD suport group I reccomend it often!!!!!!
