Baby blues late at night??

Question

I'm 4 days pp and so in love with our baby girl. But at about 7 in the evening the past 2 days I get uncontrollablydepressedand cry hysterically. Thinking of the sleepless night ahead gives me major anxiety and I just lose it. During the day I'm so productive and happy. Is this a normal feeling??

Answer

Yes it gets better! My baby is 3 weeks today. Sometimes I still get overwhelmed, especially since he's having a growth spurt and sleeps for like an hour at a time 😵 but yes it definitely gets better. Your body and mind adapt quicker than you can imagine.

Answer

I was totally the same, it does go away after a little while. Im two weeks pp and I feel alot better. It helps to have supportive people around you, my husband was very understanding. When you feel like that just let a loved one hold you for awhile. It really helps.

Answer

I'm going threw the same thing, I'm 3 weeks pp. I hate when the night comes, it doesn't help that my hubby is on the night shift so I just feel all alone and exhausted! So I feel ya!

Answer

I went through the same exact thing. It passes, it gets better, easier. I felt wonderful during the day but as the day went on and the sun set, I knew the horrible nights I was in for. I wish I had advice but it just takes time. Your baby is still adjusting to life on the outside. Just try to pep talk yourself and say positive mantras, like "I am a wonderful mother, I can care for my baby." Good luck sweetie, I remember those early days.

Answer

That sounds exactly how I was! It's like at night is when my emotions really flooded me because I didn't have all the other things distracting me. It took about 2 1/2 weeks for me to feel better. I would cry allllll the time with no real reason. It was very difficult but it does get better! If not don't be scared or ashamed to tell your doctor. I'm expecting my second at the end of August and I've had anxiety. I hope and pray I don't get the baby blues even though I almost feel like I already have them! Hang in there momma!

Answer

It gets better!!! The first few nights I was a zombie... Cried thinking how will I ever do this!!! Slowly a little routine starts to happen.. It also helps when tons of visitors die down! We were bombarded at first. Now that he's 16 days old i try to take advantage and nap when he naps at least once during the day.  Remember- it gets easier, much quicker then u can imagine. U got this mama!!
