Postpartum Depression?

Kalea • SAHM to my beautiful 2month old baby boy 💙 in love with his daddy 💛🔒

Not being able to take care of myself makes me feel depressed. I feel like I’m sleep deprived with having to wake up from my sleep and pump every time my boobs get really sore. Not taking showers most everyday because I have more important things to do. Not eating enough and being just as hungry as I was while pregnant. It’s draining.. could this be postpartum depression..?

Sounds just like me. I don't know if it's PPD or not, but it doesn't hurt to ask your doctor about it. Mine felt that it was more of a high stress situational thing than PPD (I have 3 other children and basically no help), but every person is different.

It could be but it also sounds very normal. Life with a newborn in the early days is chaotic. I didn’t eat properly for weeks and cried at everything. It does get better! But if it doesn’t then check in with your doctor. In the mean time ask for help from your partner or family and make time to sleep, eat and shower x
