Postpartum depression?

Question

I’m currently 4weeks postpartum. I kinda just thought I was having baby blues, stress and exhaustion due to my baby being colicky. But this feeling of sadness is just not going away. I have a doctors appointment in a couple weeks and just kinda wondering how should I bring it up?

Answer

Definitely say something at your appointment. I just had my 4 week postpartum checkup last week and they had me do a quiz called the Edinburgh Depression Scale. I was okay, but at my little ones two week check they had me do it before and the pediatrician said she was concerned. A lot can change in two weeks, I promise! But even keep track of what you’re doing at the time that makes you feel the way you do, how often, etc. Good luck!

Answer

They usually ask about things like that but if they don’t I always suggest to read this post exactly how you wrote it to your doctor. They’ll be able to handle the rest.
