PPD or baby blues? 3 weeks PP

Question

I feel so lonely. I feel like I’m trapped in this funk and I just can’t get out. Idk what to do to help myself. I don’t feel like me. I feel sad all the time. Some days I just hold My baby and cry. I don’t have the will or the energy to clean or cook. I literally have to force myself to do it. I don’t even feel like eating sometimes. I only do because I’m breastfeeding. I feel like everything is wrong.

Answer

It’s so dang hard but I will tell you that it’s really normal. You’re exhausted. Your hormones are going bananas. It’s so so so hard. I felt this way until 8 or 9 weeks. You’re right to keep possible PPD on your radar but I don’t think you need to worry about that quite yet. You’re still adjusting and recovering. Talk to your OB at your six week check up to assess how things are going ♥️

Answer

Your hormones are still going crazy at this stage. Also, I assume if you’re breastfeeding you’re probably super sleep deprived as well… do not feel one tiny bit guilty for not wanting to cook or clean. 
I remember crying A LOT around 4-5 weeks pp. I didn’t start to feel like I was getting the hang of things until my baby was like 10-12 weeks old. 
If you still feel down after the 6 week pp mark you should definitely speak to your doctor though.

Answer

After 2 weeks, you should be seeing your mood start to lift again, so if it isn’t, I’d talk to your dr.  Feel better xx
