Hormones making me cranky?

Question

5 weeks after birth and I’m so angry, snappy, short tempered, I feel like I’m never happy just always rushing. Can’t even breath to have a coffee or go to the toilet everything’s rushed to check the bubs or he cries. Run run run then stuck in the couch while everyone else does what they want when they want it. Trying to organize a family of 4 and a newborn I just want to sleep. And have a moment to myself. Ugh when is the baby blues going to end. Is it just hormones? Or am I just tired. I love my baby more than anything. I just need a moment to breath. And maybe a good night sleep. Anyone else like this?

Answer

Go pee, crying for a minute isn't going to hurt the baby! Maybe you are sleep deprived and it is causing these feelings

Answer

I am one massive stress head am snapping so bad aswell at everyone cuz am so bloody tired. My poor boyfriend come home from work at 11 at night after being to work for 12 hours told is to go to bed for a few hours and he will do the night feeds I slept until 4 got up and instead of being nice to him I flipped cuz he hadn’t done the bottles so I had to do them after I calmed down I felt guilty as hell since then told me r son had been screaming for 2 hour solid and he was trying to keep him quite so he didn’t wake me up yes I felt like the worst girlfriend ever 😬

Answer

My husband and I are exhausted trying to get everyone out the door every day (2.5 year old and a 5 week old). I would probably be snappy as well if he wasn’t such a good partner - it is HARD for some reason and I feel like we’re always rushing! I know it will get easier though.

Answer

Baby blues should be fading, so could potentially be moving into the PPD phase. My depression comes out A LOT as anger. Definitely talk to your doctor and reach out for support! This time is so trying!! Don’t forget to take care of yourself too!
