Post partum depression?

Question

I'm sad or feel empty most of the time. I get easily irritated. I have A hard time sleeping then I'm tired all day. I over think everything. Some days are great other days are horrible. I have bonded with my baby. I love her with all my heart. Is this postpartum depression? If so is there a way to treat without taking medicine,

Answer

I went to a counselor for my ppd because I did not want to go on medication. I had been on anti depressants before and had to go off then when I got pregnant and it was the worst. I got through it and counseling has worked better for me over all than medication ever has. Hope you feel better ❤️

Answer

It's normal. After having my son I loved him to bits and bonded well. But was so emotional and he was hard to get to sleep in his Moses basket so when he cried I cried as thought I was doing something wrong it was so hard as I was tired as was not getting sleep at night as was tired during the day. It lasted about three months. Even now at 6 months I get emotional but it will go. Talk to someone and don't bottle it up talk to your partner or family. A health visitor or doctor. U need to talk. They won't put you on medication normally it will go on its own. Obviously later on if it don't then you need to go back and parka to someone again and see what they can do for you.
