Answer

Don't dismiss those symptoms mine turned into postpartum psychosis and it was scary!!! I have zero history of mental illness and it just hit me. I was having a lot of your symptoms for a few weeks and ignored them. Please call your doctor!! No shame in this our hormones are just awful after baby!

Answer

Call and talk to your doctor

Answer

Just check with your doc. I have gotten the baby blues and postpartum depression. with the baby blues I just felt a little sad on and off. But with postpartum it was sad all the time, I was moody and much more. I never took anything cause I am aware of my past history of dealing with depression on and off my whole life. I take natural methods to get past it. That doesn't work for everyone so please speak with a doc.

Answer

My doctor told me that post partum depression can hit any time from finding out you're pregnant to up to a year after you give birth. If you're feeling concerned or worried you have PPD then I recommend you talk to your doctor and they will either have you see a therapist or give you some anti-depressants. Honestly, you should not feel like you can handle it on your own as that is when things get bad. It's okay to ask for help!

Answer

Honestly, you are a new mom and it's hard at first. I think you are just adjusting.
