i wana say u goo girl on the bf one tip i can say is keep in mind that baby will go thru many growth spurts and baby may seem like shes not gettibg enough cz shell want to nurse more than normal ( cluster feed) but remember ure boobs will get the message n increase the supply to meet babys needs. So dont think ure going dry it might just be a growth spurt
everyone is different. My firend was all healed up by week 2.
It takes about 6 weeks for ur vagina to heal..
I had bad depression before i got pregnant. (i was a self harmer)
But i was so happy when i got pregnant that i thought to my self . 'I love her so much, no way i'll get depressed once she's here"
Well, I was wrong.
I didnt get depressed around my daughter, it was with my boyfriend. I felt so distance from him and felt like he was going to leave me and was falling out of love.
pray for the best but prepare for the worse.
For those of you worried about PPD, I strongly suggest looking into placenta encapsulation! It helped me so much, my doc wanted to put me on meds right after delivery for my depression but declined because I'm breastfeeding...after the first month (you take them 3 times a day then, then taper off to as needed) anytime I felt really down or felt like I was getting extremely emotional I would take one of the capsules and within an hour I'd feel a bit more normal. Your body takes awhile to get your hormones under control and your placenta has so much of what you need in it. I'm so grateful that I was able to encapsulate and not become dependent on meds again!
I know I'll probably end up with postpartum depression because I had depression and panic disorder before the baby so I'm prepared to go back to that. Thank you for posting this though I'm a ftm and pretty scared about,all this I'm due in Jan
PPD - Post pardon depression.

PPD is post pardon depression. And well thank you for the heads up! I'm due in 5days and have no idea what to expect!!
So very true. I remember all that from my first! The two That are the most true are ddp, your a cocktail of hormones for months after. And the sleeping, as prepared as one feels for those sleepless months, you are never truly prepared
