Giving birth to a baby may be certainly one of essentially the most great moments inside a woman’s life nonetheless it is also extremely stressful and entails lot of anxiousness. Most of the new moms go via these feelings and this is what’s stated to become postpartum depression. Some of the symptoms or signs of this depression is sleeping troubles, curiosity, anxiety, frustration, improper consuming habits or less appetite for food, fear relating to handling and bringing up the baby inside the future, and so on. These organic feelings at times make the mothers feel that they tend not to deserve to become mothers. These feelings turn into far more active specifically right after 3 or four days right after the delivery. These child blues final for only a few weeks and can not be termed as any sort of illness or disease. These points don’t need any medical therapies and it also will not mean that the mother will cease caring for the youngster.

Depression Postpartum

ok well tomorrow would be 2 weeks since last time I had intercourse.its still early for my period and i my breast have become sore n tender for the past 4 days and ive been cramping,feeling nauseous from time to time,headaches,too sleepy,mood changes,basically i have most symptoms but it could be too early,but here is the catch,i am on birth control pills and i have been stressed or depressed right before this started so i was just wondering if those things might be causing me to feel this way and im not really pregnant.obviously by end of this week if this continues I will see my doctor.your opinions are appreciated.thanks!

Lately I’ve been getting abnormal symptoms since Wednesday (the 31st)… High depression, intestinal upset (burning, cramping), stomach upset, heartburn, and nausea. Normally I get intestinal upset the day before and during my period. I am gluten and lactose intolerant but I know for sure I didn’t eat any of it (and I used lactaid). The depression strikes me as odd because I am not under any stress at all, in fact I’m really quite bored lately. I eat perfect… chicken once a week, lots of fruits and veggies, raw nuts, sugarless peanut butter, brown rice… I drink my 8 glasses of water practically every single day. I am hypoglycemic but my blood sugar is very stable. Also, I’m chemically sensitive but I know I haven’t been exposed to anything abnormal.

I cannot explain why or how these symptoms are coming about. Could pregnancy be a possible issue? I have VERY irregular periods so I never know when or how long it’s coming. I had my last period starting on the 13th, and intercourse on the 20th and 27th. I was very careful and used condoms (none showed signs of tears). Could pregnancy even be possible with that small time frame? If so… when and how do you test? Or is it best to just wait out the whole month of april until I get a period? Could it be something else entirely?

Basic background: I am 8 months pregnant with a mans child that I thought I would be with forever. When he met me my mother had an extensive talk with him about the fact that I had MS and that it can be a very unreliable disease but would most likely at some point be disabiling. I am almost 30 and he is 40. My mother also told him I had never been able to conceive and had actually tried fertility drugs with my ex husband. He continued to persue a relationship with me knowing this. I was friends with this man for over 2 years prior to us dating and was there for him thru the ending of a 20 yr marriage, his home burning down, him losing his business, his teenage daughter getting pregnant, etc. 3 months after we moved in together I found out i was pregnant. I didnt believe it at first and was kind of freaked out bc I had given up hope. He was excited and made several comments about how he prayed for it to happen and that he never wanted to use protection bc he wanted to give me a child. After finding out I was pregnant I had to stop all my MS injections and depression/anxiety pills, etc that help my MS. I started getting scared and we started having problems, he didnt seem to want to listen to me, was very jelous, somewhat controlling, etc. I threatened to leave him several times, yet never did mainly because we are having a child together and my thoughts were that if it could work I needed to stay. So over the past 8 months I will admit that I have been very emotional, very needy, and bossy at times. I started having problems comprehending info and dealing with problems, so i went to see my doctor, because these issues were effecting mine and his relationship and the doctor informed me that the bundle of nerves connecting the left and right side of my brain have been severaly damaged bc of a relapse, probably right before i got pregnant. Most of my MS problems are congnitive, visual, speech, a few physical.
A few weeks ago we all had to move into my parents house bc he is rebuilding his home after a fire, and our lease elsewhere ran out and he only had a few weeks to go. My boyfriend and I got into an arguement a few days later bc his 20 yr old son jumped into one of our conversations and was very rude to me and I said something to him. When I asked my BF why he was mad at me and not his son, his response was “bc he didnt mean it like that” I asked why he always assumed I meant things rude and his response was “bc your just that type of person, rude, hateful, mean and demeaning”. There was some yelling and I asked him to leave bc I just couldn’t deal with it. So he left and we saw each other here and there and I was really hurt bc I do love him so much. We spent Christmas together then him, his kids and his mom whom were all at my parents house for the holidays decided to go to his mothers and did not invite me and made it clear I wasnt invited. That started an argument bc I was crying saying I felt excluded and he didnt understand that.
I have started having complications with my pregnancy and cannot shave my legs, take a shower by myself, etc. I am really scared and asked him to move back in, bc the baby is so close to being here and I feel like we needed to work things out if we could. He tells me he loves me but cant commit to me, then goes on about how he has no intentions of marrying me, and just made me feel like complete crap, hes blaming this on me for me asking him to leave and for me yo-yoing him as he puts in over the course of my pregnancy. I begged him to come talk to me so we could figure something out and talk, he said he didnt ahve time, then he told me that I couldn’t “rush” him into loving me and that I couldn’t “make” him commit, which i understand but that hit me the wrong way with me being 8 months prego and all, so I was like “fine you want out then come get your crap” so he shows up 10 mins later with all the time in the world. Gets his stuff, and as he was leaving I gave him back the cell phone I had of his and he grabbed my hand said he loved me, and I told him I did him to but I couldn’y “just date” a man I was having a child with, and then here comes his 20 yr old walking up all bowed out like im gonna kick his dads butt. So we didnt get to talk, my BF just told me he was doen and was throwing his hands up and that I pushed him to that point, etc. I personally cannot see that I have done anything bad enough to make him want to leave his son and me. We both had said stupid mean things, but nothing deathing cruel, we both have just done stupid things, but there has always been honesty, faithfulness, and I have always worshipped the ground he walked on. My only complaint was when he lists things important in his life, its God, my kids, my mom, my home, my dogs, you, our unborn son, and my friends and other family. When I list importance out its God, him, my son, my parents, other family members, my dog then my friends. His mom treats me bad bc he doesnt stand up for me and when he

Ok, So i’ve known now for three weeks that I am pregnant. I am 18 years old and have a 2 year old daughter and a 1 year old son. I am in a relationship with their father although we did have a break in which he didn’t see the children at all and I brought them up during this period with no support or financial help off him. It was a really hard time for me as he left me in debt from gas,electric, rent & loans we had taken out for furniture ect. He also left me with his dog and refused to collect her, I couldn’t put her into a shelter and although I didn’t trust this dog and she went to bite me on two occasions, I still looked after. (She was rehomed to my mother who adores her). I really was left to pick up all the pieces and this caused havoc with my mental health. I already suffered post natal depression, extreme anxiety & OCD but this really made me hit rock bottom. The break up wasn’t expected, he went off with another women he met online. Anyways we are back together now and I left the property and went into Refuge with the kids. My mental health just haven’t improved, I love my kids, I love being a mother but I will be the first to admitt how hard it is. I get really ill when I am pregnant ( i suffer with kidney infections that make me unable to even move, my anxiety worsens & I won’t take medication while I am pregnant & I also became an emotional mess. Now finding out that I am pregnant again it has released all these fears of (how am i going to cope looking after my two children if i am ill, what happens if i need to go into hospital?, what if something bad happens to me?) all these thoughts are constantly running through my mind that I can’t really see the light here. I couldn’t go through with an abortion so please don’t mention it, it’s not that I don’t believe in it but having an abortion would have a more negative effect on myself than going through with the pregnancy. Besides This is my baby and I am going to look after it. I keep feeling something is going to go wrong with this pregnancysuch as (stillbirth, Birth complications) something really unthinkable. I am soo low and I’m worried that I won’t bounce back up. Does anyone else feel like this? Please shed some light on this situation, I’m soo worried. I can’t even take the chldrens fatyher into account because he will come and go as he pleases.
By Just Me- Can’t you accomplish anything other than writing foul mouthed words on yahoo and not even answer the question?? Please get off the computer now before your mother finds out! else you are certainly going to be grounded, you nuahgty child!
Thanks for your answers so far ladies, I think i may be just having a really down day :( Everything is seeming so impossible and then I hate myself for feeling this way, support groups sound amazing! I think I also need sometime with other women , maybe abit more of a social life, so i can talk about these things and have friends to pick me up :)
Mr Smooth, obviously not everyone has been gifted with the upbringing and best start in life as you!, Don’t judge me I am doing good already, I’m the first person in my family to not have a drink or dug problem and to be able To keep my children. It’s sad that it’s like that but unfortunately true. Sorry if my life doesn’t fit your standards but your attitude certainly doesn’t meet mine.
Thank you S for your answer, If i take on that view of life I believe it will make this situation so much easier for me. I also believe in fate and karma and maybe I should put these views before the ones I’m experiencing know, What’s ment to be is ment to be.
Thanks :D

Need some help!?

I just had a baby, he is now 12 days old, I am going through a depression, I was on anti-depressants before my pregnancy and I asked my doctor to put me back on them so I started taking them yesterday, does anyone know how long it takes for anti-depressants to take effect? Also, I just wanted some advice from anyone who has gone thro a depression after having a baby….I am having a really hard time, I love my baby but sometimes I wish I didnt have a baby and that my life could be the way it was before. I am also worried that me and my boyfriend will drift apart and I dont want that, I want us to be close…always…what do you guys think?? Please help me out!

Im 19 (nearly 20) and have been ttc for nearly 3years with zero luck.

my doctor informed me that typically a gynecologist wont treat someone of my age for fertility. The NHS guidelines state that a woman under 23 may have treatment if she has been trying for a long period of time and has a diagnosed reason for infertility.

I am anovulatory, and have very painful heavy erratic cycles. extremely violent mood swings several times a day. and have a lot of painful cramping when i am supposed to ovulate. sometimes its so bad that i cannot leave the house. on one occasion i was huddled over in pain for 6hours unable to move at all. (felt as though my uterus had been torn and that 10,000needles were piercing through it).
My doctor managed to get me referred to the gyno on the basis of my periods and hope that they will treat my fertility at the same time.

Lately i feel terrible. i’ve been trying to research online what exactly my problem is. i cant tell if i have depression or anxiety-it seems like both. i am 20 weeks pregnant so i know my emotions are going to be out of whack, but this is getting out of hand. i know SOME medications for anxiety/depression are safe during pregnancy, so please don’t respond saying i shouldn’t take anything.

my symptoms are:
-tired all the time, i sleep for insanely long hours
-i have no desire to get up and face the day and don’t look forward to tomorrow
-i cry so easily
-i feel like my life totally sucks and that i’m worthless
-sometimes when im having a crying fit, i cant stop and it gets to the point where i cant breathe
-i just want to give up and run away from everything.suicidal thoughts have crossed my mind, but not often and only briefly
