Considered post partum depression?

Question

My baby was born 2/7...I don’t like being away from him at all...& tonight we were supposed to go out but none of my clothes fit so I went and bought something got home and when I put it on again I didn’t like it..I feel weird with my body and I’m just not ready to be away from my baby..my fiancé did go out with his friend but he just doesn’t understand what I’m going through he just thinks I’m over thinking

Answer

I’m not sure and I think it’s always smart to talk to a doctor if you think it’s post partum depression.  To me, it just sounds like you’re normal.  I think we all feel weird about our bodies right now... I’m just wearing maternity things for now until I straighten up how I look.  But, I think it’s normal to feel in a funk about clothes and going out.  You just gave birth to a tiny human.  You’re most likely tired and hormonal.  I would just cut yourself some slack.  If it gets worse, you can always bring it up to your doctor.  To me, it’s messed with my head a bit to go from being pregnant and feeling great in maternity clothes... to now looking like a busted up deflated tire or something.  I also have a separated stomach muscle so I gave a deflated stomach with a bump sticking out.  But, the way I look at it is... if anyone doesn’t like how I look...screw them:)

Sounds pretty normal to me but you should always talk to your doctor to be sure
