It doesn't mean you deserve it. Deserve is a different concept.
Its like using folic acid to prevent neural tube defects, if you refuse to use them and your child gets a preventable neural tube defect you kind of asked for it.
Again, you don't deserve it, just asked for it.

Not all doctors suggest DHA. I'm on my second pregnancy, and as many doctors as I've seen, NONE of them have recommended it to me. Quite honestly, I had to google DHA to see what it was...other than something found in breastmilk! The first time around, I was blessed to only have a very slight case of the 'Baby Blues'...of course...there were many other contributing factors.
I don't think I need to remind everyone, but for the naive, EVERY woman is different. What works for one, might not work for the other. I was not given the option of an epidural, my labor went too quickly. Is that my fault? Did I ask for that? Until you push something the size of a watermelon, out a whole the size of an orange, keep your inane comments to yourself. Please, James, you sound as dumb as Cruise does. There is obviously more to PPD than you could possibly comprehend.
To everyone else...sorry for my rudeness, but I'm about five weeks away from delivery, and my hormones are nuts! OH! I'll just go take some DHA...or diet and exercise...or something!
