Actually, from my experience, they are both the same thing - just termed differently. I had it right after my fourht child, and it took two hours, three nurses, and the love of my wonderful husband to calm me down the first time. Not sure what sparked it, but we were getting ready to head home (after having the baby and being in the hospital for three days), and I just started bawling - I was just SO SAD.....I didn't know why, and I had never experienced it with the other three.....but my nurse gave me a pamphlet on it, talked with my husband and I for a while about it, and it was over....until the next day, something triggered it again. But to assure you, while it may be normal, there have been some serious (famous)consequences associated with it, so you need to speak with a healthcare provider asap about it, and they will help.

Google postpartum depression it comes up with links that explain both. I've just tried and there are a lot of links that may help you.

They both mean the same thing. Congratulations if you just had a baby.

same thing, post partum or post natal, just two terms for same diagnosis.
