Postpartum depression or just hormonal?

Question

How do I know if I'm just hormonal or have postpartum depression? I'm so sad, but not 100% sure why. Lots of different things adding up I guess. I cry ... A lot. I worry about everything. I'm so exhausted I feel hopeless.

Answer

Talk to your Dr. I didn't know I was going through PPD until my Doc made the statement that I didn't seem like myself at my 2 week PP visit. I started crying in the office and we talked about all the symptoms I was having and that's how we figured it out otherwise I would have been in complete denial trying to deal with it on my own. Now thankfully I'm getting the help I need. Keep your head up mamma and don't be afraid to ask for help. We all need it sometimes

Answer

I wondered the same thing. I cried everyday for 2 weeks after having my baby. I'm in week 4 now and so happy so it might just be ur hormones like it was for me

Answer

Usually postpartum depression lasts more than two weeks. Baby blues or hormones usually are gone within the first week
