Answer

I knew I loved my husband and daughter, but cried several times a day. I felt a constant overwhelming sense of doom and panic like something horrible was about to happen. I was constantly on edge and irritable.

Answer

Homestly its hard to know!!! Your body just went through a ton!!! Your going to have a lot of ups and downs! A LOT!!!! Its really normal to be scared and overwhelmed and alone and aad and happy and in love and depressed and thats all normal!  Its when it gets to the point that baby is crying n u dont want to get up. When you look at your husband and just dont feel anything. Happy or sad u just have nothing to give. Id give yourself another week since 1 week is really quick ur body is still so fresh into it and then hust go see doctor. Theyll ask u to explain how u feel and what u think its wrong n theyll say this is pp or this is normal u need more time. Good luck mama!  Remember the first six weeks with a baby are the hardest! It takes time for everyone to adjust to a new life dont be hard on yourself

Answer

If you feel off, bring it up to your doctor. Your feelings are valid and if there’s something concerning with how you’re feeling they can get you resources to help. Hang in there mama. Trust your gut on this.

Answer

So before I starting want to say the first couple weeks are the hardest. With my oldest I didn't have ppd but I cried a lot and felt off for the first 3 weeks but leveled back out after that.  But with this baby is started as crying a lot, feeling weird not real words can describe how, I would lay in bed for 10 minutes before getting up with either of my kids, and I would swing from wanting food to having no appetite for a couple days.

Answer

I got the rage and i brushed it off because it wasnt technically depression. It wasnt until i attended sn online summit about postpartum mood disorders, did i realize thats exactly whst i was going through. With my first i was soooo sad and lonely and just felt helpless Nd hopeless. My second was when i experienced the overwhelming rage. I just had my third 2 weeks ago, and im amazed at how well i feel. I have also been extremely open about how im feeling with my husband and a few close friends. Talking about it helps me out so much, even if i have no idea what im talking about. and i thank god for my one friend who will just listen to me sob over the phone.
