We thought I had PPD…

I was just sleep deprived. So glad I didn’t get on any pills! We decided I should to do a week of super intentional sleeping. Husband worked so hard to keep the house clean, manage our toddler, and force me to bed early every night. It was literally like POOF depression was gone after feeling down for over a MONTH postpartum. Now I’ve been maintaining a better sleep schedule after getting caught up, and everything is way more manageable. Get your sleep mamas 🫶🏼

Wow!

I can agree with this. There are some days...I'm not sure I'd say PPD but I feel much more emotional and defeated...those are the days I realize I got the least amount of sleep. Slept more that night & the next day woke up with a better outlook. Postpartum is not easy but we got this ❤️

Yup! they should be prescribing insurance covered night doulas instead of pills in a lot of situations . Couldn’t agree more. My anxiety and intrusive thoughts are way worse after a bad night sleep . They wanted to put me on a medication where I couldn’t drive for 12 hours ! How is that safe ? How can I care for a newborn if I can’t even operate a vehicle ?

I love this so much! Thanks for sharing

The power of sleep! 💤

@Leah omg! Honestly I’m so skeptical of pills… I know there are some who need them 💯 but sometimes it feels like the Dr is just slapping a bandaid fix without full consideration 😕

I agree ! We all need more support first and foremost . Some mom’s definitely need the medication there’s no shame in that at all ❤️
