Just a rough day or PP depression?

Question

Obviously since having the baby I feel less me than before the baby but I feel like I’m just.. meh all the time. I still find enjoyment in watching my tv shows and YouTube but I have little drive to put clothes away and do things. I hate how I look and feel and I just cry sometimes. Idk if it’s just hormones and it happens or if it’s something I should bring up at my 6week check up next week. Idk what I feel half the time. Is this normal? Anyone else? I’m a first time mom and not sure..

Answer

Definitely bring it up! It's so isolating in the beginning, if you're breastfeeding you can't go anywhere by yourself really or be your own person. So I think those feelings are very normal and valid. It will get better! If there's any way you can get even a little time to yourself to take a walk, do your nails, go out with a friend, do it. And don't feel guilty about not getting stuff done, it's all temporary and you'll have years and years to work on house projects, be better at meal prep, whatever. In these first few months it doesn't even matter. 💕
