Baby Blues Posted: 01-27-05 01:31am
I was wondering if any of you moms had
gotten the baby blues and what did u all
do to get over it. Im having the hardest
time dealing with my baby he drives me
nutts. Especially at nite I get so mad I
jsut wanna scream or I break down and cry.
I even get thoughts that I dont want him
but then I think of how it would be
without him. Any advice. I really dont
want to mentation it to the doc when I got
to my 6wks post labor appt. Please help

It is called post partum depression, and
yes it is normal for some people and you
need to say something to your doc. Some
people have to get med. To help them
through it. And stress can trigger it
more. Do you have any help or support
with you. If you do ask them for a hand
in feeding the baby or anything that you
might need help with. Also see if you
have a support group around that could
help out alot as well. Good luck hun I do
crossword puzzles when I get mad or upset
but that is what I have found that works
for me..

Me and mommax3 (i don't think many people
remember her) were given meds. I haven't
taken them though. Sorry I don't have
too much advice. I've just been trying
to work it out myself. My husband helps
and friends. Def talk to your doc and
ask friends and family for help if you're
overwhelmed with everything. I know how
you feel. Take care.

Your doctor is there for that very porpose
and have heard about this. Please don't
try to hide anything. This is part of
what the follow-up visit is for.
