I had this when i had my son. It.didnt last to long i started talking to my mom and dude i think us women are overwhelmed with emotions after we have a baby but it helps talking to the people you trust. It also helps if you can get out of the house and be around anybody. I hope you start feeling better its completely normal what your going througj

My PPD started when my twins were 4 mo.  I didn't figure it out until they were 8 mo.  I thought, there's no way, I waited 5 years to have these babies, how could I possibly be depressed?  But it wasn't me it was all the hormones (and even more from all the ivf drugs).  Just don't try to do it alone.  I ended up on a very low dose of meds and I wished I had done it sooner.  I just wanted to love my babies and not be sad when I looked at them :(  there is help regardless how you choose to go about it just know you are not alone and there are so many women you can turn to who have been there!

Ive been through it with my first. I hated it everything made me sad especially my baby. Id cry because he was cute abd I thought he was too precious for this world I didn't want anything bad to happen to him. I didn't want him to feel any pain. Everything made me cry I cried when I had to leave the hospital (that's actually when the depression started) I cried when I look at my belly because I was fat then id cry because I wasnt pregnant anymore because I feet empty. Id cry when my fiance went to work. Id cry because it felt like all my friends were busy or at work and didn't have time for me and my problems. I had a c section so I couldn't leave the house because I wasnt able to drive for a few weeks. The world felt dark and I felt alone except for my baby and I felt like he wasn't safe because he wasn't in my stomach anymore. It was really tough to handle. My ob offered drugs but I refused them because I felt if I had drugs I wouldn't really know how to handle it or get over it. My mom was no help she felt because she never had ppd then I shouldn't have ppd and it was all in my head....yea that made me cry too. When my son stooped breastfeeding at 3 months I cried. Eventually it got better but never completely went away. It comes and goes like around his birthday ir if I hear certain sad sounding baby songs or lullabies. Its weird. Im dooing good as of now though. My advice dont keep this to yourself or go through it alone u need support!! If u ever need to talk message me I understand exactly what you're going through. I wish you and your new baby the best and most of all happiness.

I dealt with this with my first (I'm not pregnant with my 5th) and I didn't realize that it was PPD, I just thought it was normal hormones.  The best thing I did was to get a shower, get dressed, and get out of the house.  Seeing friends, or even just calling on the phone, can be a huge help.  Also, do everything you can to eat right and get as much sleep as you can.  If those don't help, talk to your doctor about medication.  For me, it last for about 7 weeks, but then I had to go back to work and it was so awesome to get around other women and mothers again so I didn't feel so alone.  Good luck to you!

Having a baby is such a hard thing. Your hotomones get thrown all over the place and the lack of sleep and just all the changes are hard to adjust to. Every woman is different.  Some women only do for a few weeks and others can for over a year. The important thing is to get help as soon as possible. There are medicines you can try, if youre not into that they have a variety of organizations/hotlines depending on your area, you can also do counseling if you have insurance. Make time for yourself.  Ask your fiance to watch the baby so you can have time to do something that you enjoy, even if thats taking 5 minutes to eat a bowl of ice cream. I know the making time thing is cliche but it really is important. It wont last forever,  that i promise you. I will pray for you and hopefully other women have some suggestions
