Anyone have postpartum depression? I'm pretty sure I do and it's not good.
It is, it still upsets me greatly that I missed out on those special moments but I'm so so glad she is okay and healthy.
Okay thank you, I had her thru emergency csection and it was very scary. On top of that I didnt get to hear her first cry and wasnt able to hold her until the next morning.. I can barely move much less take care of her and it's really beating me up emotionally
I'm sorry you had to go through that. It must have been hard not to be able to bond with her right away. It's never too late though. Hope you have a quick recovery so you can start to feel like yourself again
Hey, I saw you just had your baby a few days ago. You might just have baby blues, from your hormones shifting after birth. I had them bad with this baby, but I'm starting to feel a lot better. He turned 2 weeks yesterday. But you should definitely bring it up with your doctor if you feel like you're depressed. I hope you feel better soon 💙
Postpartum depression comes after birth. But if your feeling depressed please talk to your doctor or midwife. I'm sorry your feeling this way, I'm here if you need to talk
Postpartum depression is very normal, it can last up to 3 months but usually only lasts until 6 weeks. It shouldn’t be a constant thing, can come and go throughout these weeks. Mine was only at night time especially around sundown.
I asked my doctor if i needed medicine for that and she explained that my hormones rise for whole nine months and suddenly collapse after having a baby which triggers the depression and other symptoms like headaches and night sweats. C-section and not bonding with the baby right away could add a little too. So don’t worry too much, it should pass soon. Enjoy your baby she is beautiful!!! 💖
