Still blue and sad at times?

Question

Any of you ladies still sad, blue, and anxious at times? Baby blues hit hard but seemed to have gotten soooo much better after 2-3 weeks after he was born. I'm still finding myself to be anxious at times and cry for no apparent reason or maybe cry bc I don't know why I have anxiety... Just wanted to know if any of you ladies are still on a emotional rollercoaster too!

Answer

Yes!! I'm sad occasssionally because my husband is always away for work so it's just me raising our son all the time, and he's been pretty colicky since day 1. It's been exhausting for me, and with no support or encouragement, I often feel sad and hopeless 😞 But once our son is in a better mood, and smiles or coo's at me, I feel every ounce of sadness just melt away 💙

Answer

I feel like I have anxiety when I wake up in the mornings and then get anxious not knowing why I am anxious. I've googled blues vs PPD and I don't think it's PPD. I'm still taking care of myself and my baby wonderfully, NO thoughts in harming him of myself, ect, it's just some days are more of a struggle emotionally than others. Thank you for your input!

Answer

My sadness stems from breastfeeding. I'm having such a hard time with it since LO had to be in nicu which in turn had him on bottle and pacifiers right away. And his excessive crying lately has got me all bummed out because the only thing that seems to soothe him is a bottle of formula even when he isn't hungry... I feel like a horrible mom because I can't provide what my body is suppose to be making for him. On top of that I still have belly fat that was hard to lose even before I got pregnant and now that I'm almost 2 months pp, I hate the way my body looks but don't get enough sleep to physically want to exercise..

Answer

Yes I am sad .. I have a one year old and its a struggle taking care of him with a 6 week old.. I cry sometimes because things have changed for him, he's sharing me now with a younger sister.. My anxiety is also getting in the way of me bonding with my little girl.. Mixed emotions I really don't know what to think

Answer

5.3 wks post partum and I've still not cried once or felt down, I took my placenta after birth so to the ppl that say it's disgusting, not proven to help, etc I beg to differ! This post is the reason I try to spread the word of taking ur placenta, because everyone who has does not experience baby blues or pnd!

Answer

Yes I do sometimes, 4 weeks now after giving birth. I was crying often when pregnant , glad it's not as often now . Actually thought it might be because of tiredness too

Answer

Ya. Sometimes. I notice my emotions are higher when I don't rest with the baby. (6 weeks tomorrow)

I was stressing myself out because I go back to work on Wednesday and last night the LO woke up more than usual. I started panicking about how exhausted I will be at work when these nights happen.
