re: Post Partum Depression (PPD)

I really do hope so.. Because when he don't understand he gets upset with me because I am acting "crazy"... It dont help the situation any.. I do understand thats how it comes off and that is my fault .. I just wish he would learn about it a little more.. When you were carring you baby did you husband read a lot about the baby and interested on what was going on inside of you?

He didn't read about everything...but the things he had questions on he would thoroughly research. And he loved feeling the baby kick. Now that baby is on the outside, you have to use a crobar to get the baby out of his arms!  

Awww that is a good thing.. I hope that when dan gets to see the baby on the outside he will be like that and more interested.. You have a beautifull baby by the way!.. Also your one ferret Stormy I think his name was looks almost just like my ferret Sammy!

Her name is Mokey -- I saw your comment.   She's pretty small and soft as far as ferrets go too.

This forum only let you put pics in your album that are already on the web. It takes less room on the server to do it this way. So you'll need to have a photobucket account or a myspace account. You can upload your pics from the computer and then right click for properties of the photo. The box will have a web address for that photo that ends in .jpeg. Copy that and paste in the babygaga album.

Okay thank you.. I will try that when I get home! 

I guess I need some help ladies. My husband, my father, and my MIL are all saying I need to go to the doctor because I have PPD. I think I'm just stressed..and don't really think I have PPD. I would never hurt Toula..I just get stressed out, I think I have anxiety too..because when she cries I get really upset and nervous. How can I tell if I really need to seek help or not?

Anxiety is (or at least can be) a part of PPD. You don't have to have thoughts of hurting Toula, yourself, or anyone for that matter...harming one's self and others is just one of many symptoms of PPD.

You should seek help b/c of the anxiety. There's a survey they'll have you complete (like 10 questions or so) and based on your responses will tell them if you are in PPD. Well, in addition to talking to you of course!

Hey guys, I didn't know who else to talk about what Im going through, because no one I know in rl understands. I had my son three weeks ago today, I love every minute of being a mother. My problem is everyone else! My husband and I can't look at each other without me finding something to get so pissed at him about(which is totally not like me, I don't like arguing at all). I am on the verge of tears 24 hours out of the day, I just want to ball up on the bed, get under the covers and cry all day long and disapear if that possible. Im never happy anymore, and I think its taking a toll on my marriage. I don't know what to do, who to talk to. My husband doesn't think I'm going through PPD, I don't know what Im going through. Sorry this is so long I just don't know where to turn. He won't talk to me about it.

I haven't been "diagnosed" with PPD but I think I may have it also. That's how I feel a lot too, I'll just find stuff to bitch about. And I'm mad a ton, and I'm ready to cry at any moment. I think it's your hormones and maybe PPD, but I'm not a doctor so I'm not sure. I do think you should go talk to your doctor though.

yeah I go see him Wed about it. I feel so bad when I blow up on my husband. Poor thing he is working all the time and right now the only one that can work. I hate being the way I am right now, he doesn't deserve it.

I could never kill myself. but I have problems with just crying for hours for no apperent reason. I dont know how to control it. I dont get it I have everything I always wanted.

I am having the EXACT same probem. I keep yelling at my husband about everything. likehe does not helpme with the baby, and the baby crying to loud in the middle of thenightcauses him to get mad at me and I try everything (colic problem) but my husband gets mad and I just cry for hours with the baby. I dont know what to do I cry and cry so much I get migraines. I am trying to be the best mom I can. but sometimes I need help in the middle of the night. It makes me cry thinking about it. I dont know if I have PPD, but I fight with my husband more than I ever have and I am thinking I might just be to demanding. I just fear that if the baby wakes my husband up just once in the middle of the night that he wont go to work the next morning. I am only a full time student and mother. I dont bring in any income, but I do work my ass off. I just dont get it I have a brand new baby and I will have my associates degree in pharmacy in 6 mos but I just am having problems.

My husband really tries to help me all he can, which makes me feel so bad about jumping on him over crap that could be talked about instead. I can't wait to go to the Dr. tomorrow to figure out what the heck is going on. I'm beginning to hate my self..lol I hope you get to feeling better, and that your hubby starts helping you.
