What specifically makes you depressed after having your baby?

Question

What is causing this postpartum depression?

Answer

It's several things, rapid downshifting in hormones ( much the same as up shifting can cause depression and anxiety) lack of sleep, demands of baby, the anti climax of birth. Your body produces endorphins towards the end of preg and labour. These disappearing can leave u feeling awful. For me it's mostly hormones and lack of sleep

Answer

Hormones and lack of sleep I only got down around 4 am feed there will be more to it than that and I didn't get pnd but that's what got me down I think after a labour you just don't have time to catch up 
I was 5 day labour and because I'm a type one the tested my bloods every hr from day I got induced to while pushing , so I had zero sleep and then to get woken up every few hours after that with a new born was hard

Answer

The change in hormones caused it.

Answer

For some women it is simply just not being pregnant anymore. Like not having a belly.
