stay active. exercise it works wonders
I did, and it was debilitating to a point. I was very disinterested in my baby and just couldn’t ‘hold it together’ for five minutes.
I went on antidepressants (Wellbutrin) and that has worked wonders.
Mine wasn’t too bad. I was worse with my second child. I cried a lot for no reason. Umm.. I’m not really sure how I dealt with it…. I guess I just did. It’s something you kinda just have to “suck it up and deal with it”. Unless your very bad and have bad thoughts like killing yourself or your child. Then you need to see a dr. Other then that… it’s more like your just emotional. Some women don’t even notice it. Good luck. I wouldn’t really worry about it
i am 13 days postpartum..
i have been going through the “baby blues” and the way i deal with that..is when i start feeling down, stressed or just upset in anyway, i just remind myself that its the horomones and my life really isnt falling apart like i think it is, i start cleaning or doing something that is going to make me feel good about myself when i am done. this is my 3rd kiddo, so its a lot harder because i have the other two to care for as well, so i cant sleep it off, and i am still arguing with my 3yo constantly about picking up his toys outta the living room floor, and chasing my 1yo around keeping her out of things shes not supposed to be in. lol. just dont let it get to you hun..easier said than done is what your thinkin..lol..its not that bad.. btw with each pregnancy i feared and lost sleep over post partum depression, it only gets you down as you let it.. ps. i refuse the meds they prescribe for it. good luck you will be fine.
Have as much of a support group as possible. Go do stuff with friends and the baby, let friends or realatives help you care for the baby. make sure the person you are with is not like the one I was with. MY first baby I had a bad father, abusive and would curse when the baby cried at night. That put me in a bad place since I had hormones going crazy and I got postpartum. I hope you ahve someone good by your side and many close friends and family.
Good luck and take care of yourself, that too is important.
I think I have pre-partum depression, is that possible? This is the first pregnancy I go through that I feel “depressed” during. While pregnant with my first my mother died and while pregnant with my 3rd my father died yet I still didn’t feel this sad. This is my fourth and those deaths are still recent so i don’t know if they are just now taking their toll.
im due on 11/10/09 so i wudn’t know, but my aunt did after her 2nd baby, it varies for every pregnant woman though.
I had PPD after my second and third babies…
I also got the “baby- blues” after I weaned my children.
For the second, I just toughed it out… and was miserable.
For the third I went on Zoloft… and it was SO helpful!
PPD sucks, but it doesn’t last forever. Ask for help if you need it!
Good luck
