postpartum
Has anyone else delt with postpartum 8-9 months after having the little one? I was great and fine up until a couple of days ago. my fiancé gets to go out on the weekends doing guy shit while i stay at home with the little one even tho he’s in bed asleep. i just feel like he either doesn’t care how i feel or just doesn’t understand where im coming from. I’ve ditched a lot of my friends because they want to go out drinking, etc and i feel like i can’t leave the house. i’ve started to really just feel alone and i feel like im closing up. i just don’t know what to do or how to think besides be sad and cry. i don’t really have anyone anymore.

If you mean postpartum depression, yes. Mine started around 7.5 months. I talked with my doctor and I’m trying to find a counselor. My Dr started me on 30mg of saffron daily and that alone has made a huge difference. She found a study that showed a 90% efficacy rate in helping with PPD.
My almost 9m pp.. it has really bothered me my husband gets to go and do what he wants to when he wants to. I can't leave the house without a kid or baby 😭 I have no life. I do 99% of the stuff around the house and 99% of the kids care

Postpartum mental health issues can come in to play any time for up to 3+ years after having baby. It is not an immediate thing for most mama's. I got on meds at 10m pp and every single day I wish I would've reached out sooner. 🫶🏻 but also, what your partner is doing isn't fair, okay, or normal. He should be sending you on girl days, offering to stay up with baby while you nap, let you go out for dinner with your mom or your bestie, give YOU the break you not only deserve but NEED to be able to maintain your mental health. You gotta get a handle on both things.. this is so much bigger than just you now, you gotta be the healthiest, happiest mama possible for your baby now.
