Postpartum

Have any of you ladies ever had PPD? It just seems like lately all I want to do is cry. I don't even feel that connected to my little one..there's days where I'm the happiest person ever and then others where I just want to be completely alone and not talk or see anyone..has any one experienced this?

I had some PPD after my daughter. You should call your Dr. Office and ask to talk with her nurse. Tell her how you're feeling and she may talk to the Dr. And help you a bit before you come in. Or maybe make an appointment to be seen sooner.

Its very normal and common to experience ppd or babyblues. With my first i felt so disconnected to my son and just wanted to cry all the time. i found eveings the worst for me and id be totally fine during the day. I was ashamed and took me awhile to tell anyone but once i confronted my issues and started talking about then i noticed it started to become easier. Find another mom or a frienx or even family member to help u through it. If your bf doesnt understand then cobfide in someone else. Depression is a real thi.g nd thats why its treated so dont feel like a failure. Tellhim he doesnt need to agree with it but he needs to support you if your gonna get through this. Keep your chin up and on days when u feel like hiding force yourself to go out this will help in thelong run:)

I have an appointment coming up and I plan on trying totalk to my doctor about it. The only thing my bf and I differ on is about depression.. for some reason he doesn't believe it's a real thing. He thinks everyone has control over their emotions and they just need to accept that. So it's a touchy subject to bring up to him.. it ***** though because part of me feels like a failure for not following my birth plan..there's days when I can't get my little man to stop screaming but as soon as my bf picks him up, he stops and smiles..I'm tired.

I did and I talked to my doctor because it lasted a lil longer then my other 2 and he put me on citalapram 10mg and it was safe to take while breast feeding. But you should really talk to your doctor
