PPD symptoms?

Question

I just had a baby three days and I finally left the hospital today, but today, I feel so depressed and everything. I feel like a failure as a mom and everything. Is this normal? And when my mom drove me home, I just wanted to cry, but I couldn't. Is this normal behavior or what?

Answer

Baby blues. Totally common to be feeling like that right now, all my midwives in hospital told me to be expecting it. It won't last long, few days at the most.. if it lasts beyond that then talk to the doctor

Answer

Your hormones are going to be crazy again as they get used to you not being pregnant. So it can be a very emotional time. I didn't get diagnosed with ppd till my daughter was about a month old. So I would give it a little time than talk to your doctor. Or if you can't shake it after a few days give him or her a call and ask what they think.

Answer

The third day is when baby blues can truly hit... being a mum is hard work (I'm only 5 weeks into it myself).
If you feel you're struggling and/or need help, speak to family/friends or even your midwife/healthcare provider...
Stay strong! You've had a baby! Congratulations 💜

Talk to your dr, the last thing you want is to possibly hurt your baby.
