To the ladies who have kids already...do your emotions go back to normal after the baby is born? I…

Unfortunately, I think emotions/hormones are worse after the baby is born. I've always been an sensitive and emotional person.. And since my daughter was born 4 weeks ago it's been way worse. It's definitely hormones though, still trying to figure out what's going on, they say it'll get better. But it's definitely a rough road the first few weeks.

I think so lol. I used to cry when I would bear lullabies when I was pregnant😂 but now I'm good

Yes mine did, but it took like a month before I really felt like "me" again

hear*

I'm on baby #4 and it's taken a couple weeks after each child for me. I've had post partum depression after each one but it only lasted a week or 2.

It depends on the person honestly. I wasn't very emotional before I ever got pregnant, then pregnancy emotions hit me like a freight train and I would cry at the drop of a hat. Since then I'm still way more emotional than before pregnancy, but it definitely calmed down a bit from when I was pregnant. Now I'm pregnant again and it's all bad ✋🏼😂

you'll return to ur old self...but it takes a while. nd it might take longer if u get on birth control

Mine got worse I would cry at the simplest things and irritated easily lasted about 2 weeks

@jjbaby0902, @luciasmommy_ @caracross1 ...I'm praying I snap back because I can't even stand myself lol got bless my husband...I miss "me" so much lol these hormones are insane

@queendavis, @kcal12 @kismet_carri I can deal with a few extra weeks of these emotions but my biggest fear is get PP I've seen some messed up stuff my sis did when she had PP luckily I was there to help her

I felt like I snapped out of the crazy emotions more quickly because frankly with a toddler and newborn I don't have time to be emotional but, I do have my moments that get me put they last a second and I'm back to doing whatever I was doing.

@karnawest, that's my worry too I have my five year old here and then I'll have a new born I don't have time to be all mean and emotional dealing with these two

Normally it goes away after 2-3 weeks max an you go back to normal. But it if continues after that you can form post part um depression and postpartum ocd.

Hey mama I hope you don't mind me commenting on an older post. But I wanted to let you know that you will most likely get to your old self again. During my first pregnancy I was a serious B****! I hated it! The second I had my daughter the B**** part went away but I became VERY emotional for about a week, which is called the "baby blues" and it's very common. After the first week I was pretty much back to normal and now during this pregnancy I haven't had an ounce of hormone induced crazyness, no irrational emotions or irritability. Hang in there mama, you'll feel normal soon!

@coraanne, oh it's fine!...and thanks your giving me hope I've been so horrible during this pregnancy and I feel so bad for my son and hubby can't wait til all this is over !
