Trust your gut, if you think you should reach out for professional help. Do it. Taking care of yourself is taking care of them ❤️
I totally understand you, I was in a similar boat when my twins were born except one of my twins was in the Nicu and I had one at home. I was extremely sleep deprived and overstimulated. I was doing middle of the night wake ups and then waking up early to be at the Nicu for the other twin and at night I would be so depressed. Although I wish I had seeked help I didn’t but slowly began to have more of a routine for myself sleeping doing self care. Baby blues is a real thing but if you really think you can’t handle it you should Look for someone who can help. You are doing an amazing job don’t forget that, but taking care of you is taking care of your little ones🫶🏼
Hey girl, if you ever need to talk, send me a message and we can exchange numbers! I have 1.5 yr old twins and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! But believe me…I was not as overjoyed when I first found out we had twins. My husband and I managed through it really well though, so if you need any advice on how we did it and what made it easier on us, feel free to reach out. Just know…it’s like the most amazing thing ever, it really is (this coming from a mom who bawled at the drs. office when she found out she had two coming instead of one, and then bawled again finding out it was two boys instead of any girls). You’ll totally get through it.
Sounds like you're experiencing PPA 🫶🏻 mine got so bad that it turned into PPR and I finally had to reach out for help when I was yelling at my 10mo babies 🙃 I got on meds at 10m pp and every single day I wish I would've reached out for help sooner. You're not alone. This hormonal shift is HEAVY on the mental.
Hi ladies. First of all, thank you so much for all the tremendous support. I really appreciate each of you and that you found time to write all these sweet words of encouragement. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I had PPA with my first (a singleton) and felt just like you described. I found getting back on anxiety meds and occasionally taking melatonin to sleep (when someone else was covering a shift with my baby) really helpful. I could not shut my racing thoughts off to sleep without it at first and went like 3 straight days without sleeping, even though I had help with the baby. I did a therapy appointment and found people to talk to. Definitely reach out for support but it sounds so normal in the early postpartum days to feel like that! Now my twins haven't arrived yet so I have no idea what I'm in store for with two newborns. 😬
Hi mama, first of all I'm sure you're doing amazing with your boys!! Motherhood is hard and PP is hard. Remember to give yourself some grace!!! The panic attacks at night are common, unfortunately. I've had them and a lot of moms have them. Also, I think we worry because we care so much. Which isn't a bad thing. I would encourage you to research “baby blues” and “PPD”. Give someone in your support system a list of the PPD symptoms. That way, if they notice them, they can step in to make sure you're okay. Its important that you be open with how you're feeling so if it turns out to be PPD, you can take the correct steps. Remember, God gave you these gifts. Because he knew you could do it. Even when it's hard and you feel like you can't...God will give you the strength and wisdom. Just call out to him. My twin boys are 5 months now and I can remember those early hard nights like they're yesterday. I hope this helps. I'll be praying for you mama. It does get better. ❤️❤️❤️
