Normal or PPD?

posted 8th Dec
So I'm wondering if I have PPD or if it's just a normal case of the baby blues. With DS all I really remember about this time is feeling as if I was in a fog because I was tired.
Right now, though, I don't know. I'm not suicidal or depressed. I just feel very out of sorts. I like routine, I like consistency, and I guess I struggle with change a bit. Having a new baby obviously throws off any routine we had. I don't regret having LO by any means, I just want to feel normal again. I miss sleeping in bed with my husband and I want my body to feel normal; I'm tired of being engorged and needing to use that damn squirt bottle to pee. And I really worry about DS because he isn't getting the same amount of attention from me (not so much because of LO but because of how sore I am).
I'm also pretty damned weepy. I don't know what it is, I usually don't have a reason to cry and I'm not really sad, but I just leak. It drives me nuts. I don't like crying and it makes me cry more.
I'll be a week PP tomorrow. Does this seem normal?

Sounds very normal to me. I was the same way. though I only have one LO, I was very weepy. Mostly due to lack of sleep and no friends or family around at the time.

Hopefully your hormones settle down soon!

Sounds like normal adjustment period   sorry mama. Vent it out. Don't keep things in. It'll get easier as you get a routine down mama

Quoting Wolfskrieger:" I had a case of baby blues almost identical it was intense. It gets better for most but mine never went away and I had to go on meds 14 months PP.."

That sounds awful. I'm sorry.  
The idea of needing medication really scares me. I'm terrified of medication and avoid it unless it's absolutely necessary.

Just keep positive and busy yourself. I have depression mostly because it was left untreated and I went through hell and back after my son was born.
Being around good people is what helped me through it though. Having a good support system is helpful.
