Ok, maybe I am crazy...

So I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl on Monday, May 12th 2008 andI've been having this sort of issue... I really don't know if it's post partum depression or maybe I'm just crazy... but I find myself crying A LOT. Mainly because I don't want her to grow. Just stay this little and innocent forever. I in NO WAY am crying because of the stress (although it is very stressful) or wish anything to happen to her like most of the cases I've heard about.

Has that ever happened to any other of you Mommy's out there?

look up baby blues...alot of times this is the issue. but if you start feeling very sad, and it doesnt ever go away..it may be ppd. but my guess is that since you just had your baby, its baby blues.

the first week or two after having baby your body is getting rid of all those extra hormones you had durring pregnancy. It's probably not ppd, but if you start to feel sad or like you cant handle the stress you should talk to your doc... But what you're describing just sounds like those extra hormones coming out... I cried at the drop of a hat for 2 weeks after having dylan. My fiance didnt understand and wanted me to talk to my doc about it because he thought it was ppd... but it went away on its own

I cried so much the first 2 weeks after giving birth. I already had depression though, and was already on medication. My OB did tell me that its normal to cry alot after giving birth, becuasee of all the extra hormones. She said you do want to keep an eye on it though incase it turns into more of a PPD. Talk to your doctor about it though just in case. It gets better.

i cry everytime I think of that song "You're Gonna Miss This" by Trace Adkins or "Don't Blink" by Kenny Chesney... I just look down at him and picture the day when he's going to be grown and won't need me to hold him anymore... even when he's screaming and crying i remind myself that I'm really going to miss these days when the only time I hear from him is when he calls home from college... or calls to tell me about his own little ones being born... ok, now I'm crying again and I'm going to go hold him.
