Postpartum Depression: Scary Thoughts
Postpartum Depression: Scary Thoughts Mothers -- and even fathers -- can have scary thoughts about intentionally harming their baby, and those thoughts are considered normal as long as there is some accompanying feeling of guilt or embarrassment. If, for example, you have thoughts of smothering your baby but are distressed by the nature of those thoughts, there's no cause for concern.
