Baby blues or depressed ?

Question

I’m 12 days pp, and as soon as evening is approaching I get really sad and start crying, I start feeling really bad about not being able to spend as much time with my daughter as before baby was born, I also feel like I miss my husband :( and he s here with me 24/7 , I just in general don t feel myself at all :( is this normal ? :(

Answer

Night seems to be the hardest for me too. I’m 2 weeks pp and I think this is the first night I didn’t cry. The baby’s feeding schedule seems to be in conflict with my oldest son’s bedtime. Not being able to put him to bed or cutting our time short breaks my heart.
But if you feel like something is off please call. You have to take care of you

Answer

Could be both. Those were baby blues to me and what I call nighttime anxiety. For some reason it always helps when the sun is up for me. When it starts getting to be night time I get really anxious. I'm 22 days pp and I'm fine now. It's tough, but you'll get through it and if you're really struggling never be afraid to seek out help. Pp depression is a real thing and not to be taken lightly. It (and just normal depression) runs in my family so my OB always sees me 3 weeks pp to check in.

I’ve been going through this since the night I got discharged from the hospital. Had a huge panic attack after I got home and have been feeling up and down. I’m 9 days pp. I’ve been seeking out help with counselors, my OB also prescribed Zoloft, which I haven’t taken yet. Here’s a resource that might help.

I just had my 5th baby and I think a lot of my problem is I’m super overwhelmed because my older kids are out of school until next week and my husband just doesn’t understand and it makes me seriously hate him to the point I want him to leave. He works 10 hours a day so I’m alone with my kids then when he gets home I’m ready to take a shower and go to bed.

Answer

I am 5 days pp and understand 100%.. as soon as we start winding down for the night I just have the overwhelming urge to bawl my eyes out and feel so sad that my baby is going to be another day older, scared that something will happen to her and really miss my husband. My husband cries when he sees me cry so we are just an emotional wreck over here... he wants me to go see someone about it but I feel like the first thing they would say is to get on meds and I was on meds for s short time last year and hated how they made me feel... they make me feel nothing and I am willing to be terrified every night if hat means I feel happy when I see my daughter... it’s just been tough.

Answer

I had a couple days like this around the 2 week mark. I felt like everything was so difficult and I just couldn’t do it anymore. Thankfully, it passed after only a day or 2. Hang in there and don’t hesitate to reach out to your doctor if it continues/ gets worse ❤️
