Postpartum blues

I just had my son, and my daughter is 18 months old we are now home and resting. My husband has been a superstar with both and me. I have everything I could need. But why am I so sad. Sad that I can't move around and play w her. Sad that idk. I'm just sad and crying over my own thoughts. Ik it'll only be a month or so of me on bed rest but why can't I just cheer up. It's not like I'm always upset it's just hits me and I silently let out my tears.. idk what to do.

Hey girl, I just gave birth a few weeks ago and this is completely normal. Postpartum your hormones are on a roller coaster and this really affects your mental health at the time. I remember crying every night for 2 weeks straight because I was so sad. I would be holding my baby and my tears would be falling on her while she just stared at me 😅 You’re not alone 🩷 It helped me to watch movies and talk to family or even just sit with someone when it hits you, trust me!!! If it’s not PPD, it should go away or the intensity of the feelings should decrease around 2-3 weeks but if it persists for 6 weeks or so you should talk to your doctor and see what options they have for you. You can also message me if you need someone to talk to!!

I Am on the same boat! I had my son last Tuesday and my daughter is 22 months old. I am not on bed rest though so I do move around and do things but I’m not allowed to lift her yet and it kills me. I am crying a lot too over every little thing. Thankfully my husband has been a superstar too but I don’t know how much more he can take from me lol Some days I’m better and some days not. With my daughter it only lasted 2 weeks so I hope this time it doesn’t take longer 😢 feel free to message me if you need!

I just had my daughter 2-12 and I’ve struggled with depression and borderline my whole life. Previous SH and SI and honestly I’m having a hard time. Which makes me feel like a failure and guilty. Not even two weeks in and I’m already folding. My fiancé is also depressed and we’re both tired. We keep fighting. And he’s upset that I’m upset. I don’t know what to do. I of course love my baby and don’t blame her in any way. I just feel like this will never end and we’ll never be happy together again .

Mamas I feel you I had my baby boy on 2/13/25 and I’ve had the blues about not being pregnant anymore it’s made me so sad and cry that I don’t have my baby bump anymore. I’m so happy and grateful to have him in my arms but so sad my pregnancy has come to an end.

I’m right there with you. I had my baby on the 7th and I felt so much emotion these first two weeks. Sad emotions and happy emotions. I was sad I’m not pregnant anymore. Sad baby won’t ever be this small again. Sad I have to go back to work in a few weeks. But also so happy to have my rainbow baby in my arms. Happy to have the support and love that I do. Happy to be able to create life and sustain it as I have. I think it’s normal to feel this way. If you feel it’s more than you can bear, please seek a doctor’s help. Start with your OB and see if they have any resources. You’re not alone 💜

@Alaina I have this too! My physical symptoms weren’t that bad for second and third trimester, now I’m in pain and tired and worried. I miss feeling her move around it’s different on the outside. My first shower alone broke my heart.

@@MarisaIm sorry y’all have been feeling that way. Just have conversations about how you feel and ask him to please try and understand. Our bodies are going through a lot and all you need him to do is listen and be there for you. If a fight starts maybe just tell him if y’all can end it and come back to it when y’all both are more level headed. You’re not a failure you got this and just need support right now. Especially with the lack of sleep. If you need someone to talk to please dm me I’m here if you need. ❤️🥰
