Did anyone else feel a little blue for the first 2-3 months postpartum?

Question

I'm not depressed but I just feel a little blue/sad fairly often and can't quite place why.

Answer

I did a lot of crying the first few weeks. I wasn't depressed, but my emotional side would just completely take over. I was messy, my house was messy,I never felt dry between leaking milk, blood or sweat. I was never just generally sad for nothing. I usually had a reason even if it was miniscule.  It was just a lot! But after that things normalized and I didn't feel that way anymore. Just remember to take at least one baby nap a day where you do something exclusively for you, whether thats a shower, a proper meal, or watching your favorite show.  Evaluate how you are feeling and if you even question the possibility of depression. Talk with your Dr. It's easier to pull out of a shallow hole instead of burying yourself so deep you almost lose yourself.

Answer

Keep a close eye on your emotions. Sometimes you don't realize yourself getting worse. 
I was almost a year postpartum when I realized how low I had gotten. I didn't think I deserved my daughters. I thought they'd be better off without me. 
Don't let yourself get to that point..be honest with your doctor and let him/her help you :)

Answer

Yes. I just felt a little off. But once I was 4 months pp it hit me hard 😩

Answer

I've got help from a mental health midwife this 2nd time round as mentioned above it took a year to realise how low I had been. I can't afford that this time as I need to be self aware for my toddler and hubby too. Took me 6wks to go out the house on my own and now pregnant I'm struggling with leaving the house making excuses. Talk to someone hun or at least find out where you can in case you need a life line. Hormones wreak havoc

Answer

Yes almost every other day. Sleep deprivation is a killer. Talk to your doctor. I saw mine as a precaution and she determined I’m just having trouble adjusting, get more sleep and see her in 2 weeks. I’m not depressed.

Answer

I did the first month, but I'm feeling much better now. I think it's because I'm finally adjusting.
