Re: What do you think is the line between...

  • I felt like I was having a heart attack - it was a panic attack though. major anxiety issues.
  • The time...baby blues clear up by two weeks.  PPD persists beyond two weeks and interferes with your ability to do your daily activities normally.

  • For me, I got the baby blues for a few days pp. I just cried during moments , usually once a day over silly things and I think part of it was just the adjustment.  PPD I would think, would be crying a lot more often and thought pattern being sad and having negative thoughts.
  • It depends on the mom.  If there are occasional crying and emotional mood swings, that can be normal hormonal issues that fade.

    If there is a noted lack of interest in the baby or things that used to make mom happy, trouble getting out of bed, sadness, crying, thoughts of wanting to harm baby, etc... then that is something totally different.

  • I didn't have PP, but have had depression issues before. There is just a general feeling that everything is pointless, it's not really a sadness per say. I also felt really?detached?form the rest of the world and the people around me.?

    If you're in doubt talk to your doc, no need to suffer. ?

  • For me how I figure it out is Can I talk my self through my anxiety/being overwhelmed? So far I've been able to. But if the day comes where I can not I will be speaking to my doctor.

    By the way, Hi Hot Mama :)

  • My OB told me that if it lasts for more than 2 weeks, to give him a call.  I think that a new baby is a great big change and requires a lot of transition time. I think that 2 weeks isn't enough time to get used to your new families, responsibilities and daily activities.  If you think you're having even the slightest problem, call the Dr.  If you are having a problem and you get help, you'll be a better person for your baby, your H, and yourself.  GL!
