Postpartum depression or baby blues?

Question

First time moms who else feels depress? I do all I want is to cry. I’m scared of what the night is going to be with baby I’m scared of what day will as well. I feel worthless. And all this covid 19 is definitely not helping cause the one person the I need the most came out positive my mom. My brother my sister not my dad haven’t met my baby boy

Answer

It depends on how long you’ve felt this way. Baby blues typically goes away once you’re 2 weeks postpartum. PPD lasts longer and you typically have feelings of worthlessness, sadness, anger, irritability, etc.

Answer

I’m very sorry you are going through this! Baby blues is very normal and common. It usually goes away as hormones regulate and you adjust to motherhood. PPD gets worse and doesn’t just go away. If you fear that you may have something more than baby blues, or begin having harmful thoughts towards yourself or baby, please contact your OBGYN. They can help you wish resources and help you get better. ❤️
