Oh yes!... The Baby/postpartum Blues!

Wow I actually wonder how you can suppress your emotions. When I had mine with the second one, I cried without reason. Its like I have gone crazy. Luckily that was the only one. Anyway does your husband aware of this condition? Mine was not and he was no help. I suggest you told your husband about the condition and go with the flow. If I am not mistaken I was out of it quite fast. About a week maybe? Just remember if things seems to get worse, its only natural because of the postpartum blues. And it WILL past. And try to be positive despite. AND IF YOU HAVE WORK, FORGET ABOUT IT!!! YOUR BABY NEEDS YOU AND CONCENTRATE ON GETTING BACK TO NORMAL!!!

I had it at one point too. I am an emotional person as it is so it was really hard. I don't think you should hold it inside. Crying is good. It releases a lot of emotions that need to come out! I hope you feel better and enjoy that little one soon =)

Your attitude can really help or hinder your getting over these PPblues. For me, there is nothing more fun or wonderful than a baby. Maybe you could decide to find fun in her(him?). I always tell my daughter that it is a choice to be bored. She is a teen now so boredom is her favorite complaint. No matter what your situation, you can choose to be interested in what you have rather than longing for what you can't have or used to have or would like to have. You have a precious little person who depends on you for everything from food to love and everything in between. You have a big job...the biggest job there is and that is awesome! It is an enormous honor to be a mother. It's the hardest job you could ever do but it is worth it. Believe it! I remember when my daughter was about 6 weeks old looking at her...she was lying on the bed and I was knelt down beside it...and thinking "She would be better off without me." The thought cut like a knife and hurt like you-know-what. I was alone, too. Her father had put me out on the street when I was 5 weeks along so I was dealing with that rejection, in fear of my life and my baby's life as we had been threatened by his other woman. I felt so totally abandoned and alone but when I held my daughter and nursed her, it just felt so right, she was all that saw me through. When we took a trip to California to clean out my storage unit, I took her with me to a dance one night and as I held her and looked at her I came to realize that I was home to her. I was the only constant thing in her life. I was the most important person in that little girl's life and that made me feel awesome! Remember, Nisha, that baby is a wonderful gift from God and precious above all else. There is nothing on this Earth that you could do that would be more important than raising that little baby! It's a heavy responsibility, I know, but the rewards are so much more than all the "fun" you could have away from that little one. That said, I would have to say you need to let your feelings out, but appropriately. If you don't feel your husband can give you the kind of help you need, seek out professional help. I found myself in the local Mental Health clinic when my daughter was about that old. It helped a lot. Let us know how it goes and God bless you, kiddo. Big Hugs!

I was very lucky. I didn't suffer from postpartum depression but a friend did. Please keep in mind that this can become a serious illness. My friend needed to be hospitalized. I would talk to your husband and your doctor not everybody can just deal with it and hope it passes. Good Luck and congratulations. Welcome to motherhood. You can have fun and do things even with a baby.

hi i'm a home stay mom. my girl is 1 year old. when she was born, i'm not sure whether it started right after the birth or a month or so after. but i was very emotional too!!! i had anger bursts, with no reason, could start crying easily, i felt so evil. actually i wasn't angry with my daughter , just with my husband and everybody else :-) i had that for 5 month! they say that babyblues should be over by two month. but i don't think so, they last much longer, and much more women have them, than they say! i went to see a doctor, and started crying cause I didn't know what to do. he prescribed me anti depression pills, lucklly i didn't take them. it was all over by six months you should have patiance, it will be over, the change and the hormons have their affect.
