PPD

I am 5wks 3d postpartum and I feel like I want to cry every day all day, I’m having a hard time seeing life in a positive light and I’d rather lay in bed with my baby all day, I feel like I’m failing my 9yo.. when does this get better 😭 I just want to feel happy again.

I feel the same way I have failed in breastfeeding and have low milk supply and feel terrible all the time

I feel the same too. I have no time for anything. I cry almost everyday about something. Today I cried because before I knew it was 12pm and I hadn’t even brushed my teeth or eaten breakfast. All I do is feed the baby and rock him to sleep. I’m breastfeeding and it’s sometimes the only thing that calms him down so idk I feel stuck.

I’m with you 😭 I feel like all I do is nurse the baby and I have no time To clean the house or cook meals, or even entertain my 9yo she is on her tablet or reading all day long (I homeschool and we’re on break) But I feel soooo bad because she’s barely getting any attention or time with me. The house feels so disgusting and cluttered. My husband tries to help but he doesn’t see the mess that I see and he’s back to work so I’m mostly alone with the kids. This is so exhausting, I feel like I am not enjoying this at all and can’t wait for her to get bigger already which makes me sad too.

@Danielle you might feel that way now but you are blessed to have breastfeeding established I breastfed my baby for a week and he figured that bottle is the way to go and I miss that

I’m 20 days PP with my second (my first is 5yo) and feel exactly like this. I’m crying every other day and missing my life before baby. I’m Latina and in our culture we take very seriously what is called a “quarentena” which means you stay home for 40 days to rest and recover so I’ve been home and have not gone anywhere I feel like I’m going crazy and find myself wishing this time to go by fast how do I feel better ??

@Rubi I’m so sorry girl, this is so hard.. I know this time will pass and we will look back on it and remember how hard it was but that we got through it. I dont go out of the house either right now only for doctors appointments so I feel like I’m going stir crazy too. My husband’s work schedule sucks he doesn’t come home til 11pm and I dread when he leaves for work.
