I think I have PPD/PPA - I have no appetite, bad anxiety, no motivation, stressed all the time.. 😩😭 and I'm already taking an anti depressant.. I feel like such a bad mom.. ugh
That's TOTALLY normal babe! I've always been told if you're worried about being a and mom you're more than likely an AMAZING mommy💜 only way to be the best mom is taking care of yourself. Just stay in contact with your doctor and enjoy the little things. I still suffer from severe ppd and my daughter is 5 months. Every day gets easier and just be very vocal about your feelings so loved ones around you can help. Your baby still loves you and you are still her world. She doesn't love you any less because you're feeling down. You'll get through it mama 💕
Don't worry it's very unlikely that the first anti depressant will work on you. Sometimes it takes many changes of doses and different brands. Don't give up.
@mamaofindierose, the sleep deprivation doesn't help. Really makes you loose your mind. See if some family or friends can give you a break ❤️
You're welcome. That's why it's so important to be open and honest with those close to you and your doctor. Your doctor especially isn't going to judge you for it. They've heard it countless times. Pregnancy is a miracle, but it wreaks havoc on our bodies and hormones, during and after.
@starryheavens727, @august2017babe, thank you both - I'm just really going through it right now 😭
You're a wonderful mom because you understand the symptoms and want to fix it. I remember the same feelings, I don't have ppd so I don't know your pain exactly but I do know that you'll make it ❤️
And you are NOT a bad mom for struggling. It makes you human. Take care of yourself so you can take care of your baby girl. Remember that you're brave for fighting this.
Let your doctor know. Unfortunately, it's trial and error to find the right medication and dose. Keep fighting and reach out for support. *hugs*
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
