Normal Or Not? Posted: 09-16-06 21:17pm


Well I had my beautiful baby boy on the 6th of septemeber. Ever since we brought him home ive felt odd. Like I have no appetite at all really, I eat one meal and I feel sick. I catch myself wanting to cry for no reason or when my son's fussy I start crying too. Im getting a decent amount of sleep, obvisouly not as much as before but more than most moms ive heard of. I also feel sometimes like hes a inconvience. I feel so guilty for thinking that too and I hate feeling like my own son is annoying me. I cry just thinking about it. My question is does this sound like a tad bit of post pardum depression? I mean I was so excited when I found out I was pregnant and couldnt wait for him to be here and now that he is I feel so blah. Any advice would be nice. Should I call a doctor or just wait it out for a few more days or weeks? Could it just be lack of sleep or hormones still out of whack? Im scared cuz ive heard it can get real bad. Any help? :cry:

I think that you should talk to your doctor and explain to them what is going on. It sounds like to me that you have ppd but im not a doctor. Good luck to you

Could also be baby blues the usually last from 1-3 weeks and it is normal to feel the way you are, if it doesnt go away after 2 weeks than I would make an appt with the Dr. I had felt similar, couldnt eat but I actually had a stomach disorder because babies do put alot of stress on your body anyways mine went away about a week after but I was feeling kinda down.
