Are your hormones still adjusting to not being pregnant ? Sorry if that question sound a lil missed informed im just curious bc I care about nothing when im pregnant and my body right now is used to being pregnant so idk if that carries over after the baby....but ya get up and do something and u have this precious gift also that im soo jealous lol I want to see my baby soo bad ughh 77 more days

We're doing good. I went back to work. Only part time for a month or two. It was really hard leaving my baby that first day but it was good to be back. I missed everyone while I was out and I really do love my job.

Think of how much your hormones changed in those first weeks of pregnancy. Now they are shifting a bunch again. Not to mention I'm sure there is some sleep deprivation at play and cool gloomy weather depending on where you live. Trying to get out of the house is a good mood booster. Get a girlfriend to go for dinner or bum around the mall.

Mmmm Starbucks ..

I think the ideas above were good. That always helps me. If it doesn't get better see what your Dr thinks.

How's being a mama? I can't wait to see mine... 109 more days!

:( I think the idea of getting dressed up n going somewhere is a great idea. Your hormones are trying to go back down to normal...and quick.....it dant be easy.

How old is your baby. I felt that way for a couple weeks after my baby was born and then it started again when my baby was 10 weeks. I think it's really common but if it continues then maybe you should talk to your dr. One thing that helped me was I made it a point to get out of the house frequently even if it was just to the grocery store or to starbucks. Just getting up and dressed and having something to do made me feel better.
