Baby blues?

Question

I’m a week postpartum and I think I’m showing signs of the baby blues. I love my little man to death but I go through moments of overwhelming sadness and loneliness. There have been a couple of days where I cried all day and had panic attacks. Has anyone else been dealing with this? If so how do you cope?

Answer

i went tru that too for about 3 weeks exactly the same as you i would just cry it out my baby is 1 month now and i feel much better still get a little blue in moments but i just think that things will get better and easier looking at my baby sleeping and smiling also helped me.. trust me it gets better i hope u feel better soon

Answer

I felt this way too for the first 2-3 weeks. My baby girl is a month now and I’m feeling much better. I think connecting with some friends and getting out of the house helped a lot. I also think it just takes a little time for hormones to regulate.

Answer

Get help. Talk to your doctor.  There is absolutely no shame in feeling this way but make sure you’re getting the help you need, whatever that looks like.  I ended up getting on Zoloft after baby #1 and that was instrumental.  Taking meds wasn’t exactly what I wanted but it did make a huge difference and get me through a very rough phase.  Talking about it with friends especially those who also have kids really helped. It’s surprising how many (almost everyone I talked to) also had some of the same feelings. Sometim s just not feeling alone was enough to bring me up.  The important thing is that you will get through this but get help.  You got this!

Answer

My baby is a week and 2 days old now and I think I had a case of the baby blues yesterday and the day before. I was just feeling so exhausted and overwhelmed I was literally crying nonstop. I called my mother and husband to watch over the baby while I took a few moments to get myself together. I took an hour in a hot shower to relax and then finally slept some. Felt sooo much better afterwards. I’m also glad I had supportive people to help out as well. Don’t let it get to you, I’ve come to realize that it happens to everyone (especially after reading some of the other posts on here) and it’s ok to ask for help. It’ll pass and get some rest too whenever you can, that definitely helped me.

Answer

I had baby blues the 2nd day I came home from the hospital. My birth experience was traumatizing. It took me 36 hrs to deliver my baby, came home with 3 hemorrhoids and 3rd degree tear. I was in extreme pain when I came home. I cried at everything. This is my first baby. I have no clue about what being a mother means. I felt helpless and scared. I am not a crier so my husband was freaking out when I became like that. After a week the pain was lessen so my mental state became more stable. It will get better for you I am sure.
