I recently read an article in TIME magazine called "Afterbirth: It's what's for dinner". I had heard about some mothers eating their placenta after birth to prevent PPD, but never even considered this for me. I am not suggesting that you try this, just a resource of what some use as a preventative measure.
Before clicking on the link, I must warn you-- there is a video and although you have to click play for it to start if you have a weak stomach you may not be interested in anything other than reading a humorous article by Joel Stein about his wife's "hippie ways".
I am glad Kristin's story on PPD is available and hope it is useful!
