Here's a shocker. Hold on to your hats ladies. Are you sitting down?

A new study found that "analyses revealed significant differences in sexual interest between depressed and never depressed postpartum women." Wow.

Who knew?!?!?

    What a shocker, I'm glad I was sitting down 😉 I'm pretty sure my husband already figured that out.

    Wow, did they actually put money into doing this study? Must have been conducted by men:)

    actually- what is important is that women's interest in sex remained lower despite remission of depression.

    Yes it actually is interesting that even once the depression symptoms went away their sexual interest never fully recovered. Perhaps due to depression meds?

    Hmmm…I must have a very atypical sex drive. I have never wanted sex as much as I did when pregnant and depressed and then post-partum and depressed. We had lots and lots of sex..never met anyone else who had a similar response, but there you are!

    Did they say why that is? Any hypotheses?
