Am i having postpartum symptoms?

Question

I had my baby June 13. The last couple days I have been feeling very emotional. I want to cry about everything and sometimes nothing. I was just looking at my baby and thinking how hansom he was and wanted to cry. I also have been very irritated and snapping at my 4 year old and my boyfriend. I don't mean to bc I love them alot but I just can't help it!!

Answer

Honestly, it could be either so it's good that you're trying to figure out what's going on with you. Agitation is a sign of depression and something you should bring up to your physician, either now or at your next visit. Especially since you've never felt this way before. When I'm depressed, I'm extremely agitated, easily angered, and tired. There's no feeling low/sadness that people often believe to be depression. PPD can start in third trimester so it's better to get checked than hope it's just the baby blues and wait to snap out of it. If it turns out to be the baby blues, then you'll probably feel relieved that you spoke to your physician about it anyway.

Answer

I was the same exactly since June 4th. I’d cry over any and everything and was continuously sad all the time. A few days ago I pulled myself together. I do cry a little but I am trying not to let it consume me..  at my follow up appointment with my doctor I’m going to tell her and see what she says 
Hang in there !

Answer

Baby blues...it will even out soon. Hormones are coursing thru your body.Regarding behaviour towards your older son and boyfriend just let them know and consciously apologise if u snap at them...less guilt on your shoulders. By week 7-8 you should see a calmer side of  yourself...incremental changes occur. You will get there. Congrats and enjoy the journey of being a mother of 2 boys.

Answer

I was the same way for about 2-3 weeks postpartum.  I was told it was from normal hormonal shifts but to seek help if it lasts longer than that.   Congratulations on your LO.  Hope your feeling better soon.

Answer

ok thank you so much. I've never experienced this before

Answer

Totally normal, it’s baby blues. If it continues for a while longer it may be PPD. Reach out if you’re concerned ❤️
