Normal?

Question

I'm 3 weeks pp, and I can hardly eat. I eat maybe once a day, if that. And when I do eat it makes me ill. I've been told it's normal, but idk. My parents think I have the baby blues, because at times I break down and cry, or don't talk at all. But, I don't feel like I'm depressed.

Answer

I went through the same thing. I had to force myself to eat even just a snack every day. That being said, I got TERRIBLE PPD. Talk to your OB. Try to nip it in the bud.

Answer

If your breastfeeding it can suppress your appatite you need to make sure you do eat if you are because other wise you won't be able to feed your baby. If you don't feel hungry just try bits of food little and often ... I'm just over 3 weeks PP and I have to force my self to eat . I also went off my food for over a week because I was on these nasty antibiotics .. You just have to remember your not just feeding your self now it's your baby too...

Little and often and keep hydrated

Answer

Are you BF??? I heard that some people feel sick after they eat, when they are EBF

Answer

Not sure who told you that's normal, but I'm guessing not. Hormones are all over the place the first couple weeks and it is very normal to have even a bit of the "baby blues" without feeling "depressed" or how you think depressed would feel. I'd suggest making an appointment with your doc. Even if it's not baby blues, eating so little won't give you the energy needed for handing everything, which is bound to make you feel not-so-good. Hang in there- the first few weeks can be very tough!!
