Postpartum depression!!!
Hello mommas !!!
Asking for a friend… my friend delivered a baby through c section 10 days back. She was fine for 4 -5 days and baby was latching well . Suddenly baby stopped latching as well as the mom is going into Exstream depression. She is not able to sleep , she doesn’t want the baby around, she feels like killing herself and is continuously crying. She had good support of husband and her mother.
Did anyone go through this ? Please Any help would be really helpful.

@Autumn Burger thank you so much for sharing ur story … I m so sorry for wat you went through … I hope you both are doing good now
@Likitha thank you we are all doing well now. But it took me almost 2.5 years to get through the postpartum depression. Hang in there with your friend. She will get through it too. But it may seem endless while she is in the thick of it. I hope she is able to overcome it much quicker than I was.
Yeah my postpartum depression was so bad it was borderline a psychosis. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter how much support you have or anything else it will only get better with time and possibly medication. I had a c section too and my baby went into the nicu because he couldn’t breathe. I was never able to breast feed because of the separation and he also had colic and wouldn’t stop screaming unless he was eating. He would only sleep a few hours a day and it was too cold to get him outside much since it was late fall when I had him. I had no support but my husband who had to go to work, so it was really just me and the baby. Every day I felt like a failure and a mistake and that I was not worthy to be a mom. I wanted to kill myself all the time. Then four months later I got pregnant again. I also lost my second baby at about 22 weeks and it was still just me and my son at home for the most part. He was still colic and still hurting all the time and I just wanted it all to stop.
