Is PPD a feeling that is constant, or can it come and go? I’ve never dealt with it after my first two were born, but for some reason this third one feels different. I am just having a much harder time handling the stress of things that would’ve never bothered me before.

My husband works long hours, so I’m home doing the “kid thing” primarily by myself. I cried about that the other night. The last two nights I have cried, because my baby has been hard to put to sleep. She just wants to comfort nurse, which is wearing on me. At times I feel like I can’t even hold my baby without her wanting to nurse, but other people can hold her and she’s fine.

I can usually handle stress pretty well, but it’s getting to me now. Could this be a sign of PPD or and I just stressed?
