i gotta personal question to ask u ladies and im kinda embarrassed too but any of u ladies have baby…

I never suffered from it but I know it's best to talk to your OB ASAP, and don't be embarrassed. They want to help you, and you won't be judged. Woman suffer from PPD and baby blues a lot more than many people think, some of them just don't speak up, which is a shame. Get help if you need it so you can take care of your baby! 😃

I have it I talked to my ob about it. because it'd post partum it's their area they prescribed me something known as wellbutrtion it deff helps

i had it i never talked to my doctor about it because then they will end up putting you on some pills , itll pass if you feel like it hasnt after a certain amount of time or you feel like your in danger to you or the baby then i would talk to the doctor

@klachappelle, yea ima make an appt tomorrow and hopefully they can get me in them or soon this week...its not that bad i just have small panick or anxiety attacks and it makes me not wanna eat like im suppose to and i cant sleep and when i do he wakes to be fed so i get even more tired...thank u for the comforting words :)

@rachaelbutsch, i have taken wellburtrin before so maybe it will help here..i will hopefully find out this week..thank u glad to know its not a bad thing to have it...

@irisedith, i feel like it could pass with time butni dont wanna wait for it to get worse...i have like little anxiety attacks then it passes and i feel fine and that happens a few times a day...i try to stay busy with house work or talk with people and it keeps my mind at ease but i wanna just be home and be ok and know everythings ok...i will be getting it fixed hopefully this week

I cried a lot the first six days of having him. Make sure you take naps twice a day is what I was told and I really felt better yesterday so that was day nine. I would wait and see unless you think you are going to harm yourself or baby. But know that it's normal and you aren't the only one who gets it after baby

i had it from 2 weeks to a month it gets overwhelming and i had to deal with it myself because my hubby doesnt like when i cry he'll just walk away, when i was in the shower i balled my eyes out , take time for yourself when your home try not to leave the house because then youll get used to being out and dont wanna be home because of that , take naps , take long showers , drink a glass of wine if you have too , try to relax , it will get better but like i said before if after a certain amount of time you feel like it wont go away or you feel like your a harm to yourself and the baby then talk to your doctor

i had depression always remember to get some couseling...and some time with others to chat. talking about how we feel helps. but if u feel sick enough to worry id make sure u do talk to doc for meds. ive taken welbutrin before it was mild in sode effects..good luck. hope u feel better soon. hugzies

@yummycake, @irisedith @edomke @rachaelbutsch ladies does it normally happen this early though? my son will be a week tomorrow....

after trauma...childbirth...depression can set it ur body might be exhausted in every way possible..and is coping with depression. dont worry honey. if uve never had depression..i cab honestly tell u it will pass. it just helps to get meds..because its not gonna be easy to wait it out...meanwhile....get some massage or sit in a park under shade..eating a sandwhich with ur baby...relaxing things...ask for a person to baby sit while u take a nap. one hour.

dont worry about having ppd...worry bout what u can try to help urself feel less bad. (not good)

@yummycake, thank u for ur help...i dont ever feel tired during the day...im terrified of nights cause i dont know how he is gonna act...and thats when im most tired so when he wakes to eat and is fussy it makes me more tired...i get all anxious and have anxiety through the day cause i dont want nights to come :(... but i cant sleep when he sleeps during the day cause im always wide awake....

my mom is the same she cant sleep in day time.. and we were night owls too. the only thing you have and can do is to tell yourself ur not suppose to be perfect..its ok if the babyis fussy. with time u guys will adapt to each other. it took me about two months to have my kids quirks and likes and all that figured out. the first month is all waiting guessing game.

yes i had it like 2 days after she was born i didnt wanna leave the hospital

@irisedith, how long did it take for u to get better?

between 2 weeks to a month

@irisedith, were u prescribed something or u just worked through it?

@rachaelbutsch, how old is ur baby? and how long did it tale to start helping u?

i worked it through

Mine happened right away

@edomke what did u do to overcome it?

Sleep. I took two naps a day but my husband was off with me for a week so he really helped. I would for sure tell someone so they can help you. It is very overwhelming and I would have bad anxiety. So sleep would help
