Opposite of postpartum ?

Question

I had my baby boy via C-section 5 days ago. I have always struggled with anxiety and depression. I’m on medication for it, today was the first time in a long time that I considered lowering my dose. 
I’ve been so content and happy since having my son. I can’t imagine having the baby blues at all. 
Is this a thing?

Answer

I’m glad you’re feeling so great and I hope it continues for you! I would advise you NOT to make any decisions about changing your medication without talking to your doctor, and so soon after giving birth. Some women don’t experience any baby blues or PPD, some feel it right away, and some don’t feel it until weeks later. Your body is going through a lot of hormone shifts and will be for a while. Days of highs and lows are very normal! Wishing you the best, mama!

Answer

Usually when any med starts working you start feeling better...
Talk to your doctor about it all. Internet can not help with so serious issues.

Answer

Postpartum depression most commonly hits in month 3-4 after birth. The first two weeks after birth you can feel baby blues and that’s normal.
Did you have a non medicated birth ?

Answer

The exact same thing happened to me. I definitely had prenatal depression and after my daughters birth I just felt sooo much better snd more like myself. She’s two weeks now and the exhaustion is making me a bit more stressed so sad but overall I still feel way better then I did before birth. I’m still doing therapy because I have a history of depressed feelings and anxiety and my birth was somewhat traumatic but it’s nice to feel more emotionally stable
