Second time around...

LDQAM516

...is going better than the first but still sucks nonetheless.  Iam not really sure what my deal is.  Baby is great, we are sleeping 7 hours plus at night and she rarely cries...way better baby than our first.  I think my PPD/Baby Blues comes from the pregnancy being over...I love being pregnant and love the anticipation, doctors visits and even labor and delivery itself...I find myself dwelling on the fact that it is all over...I mean come on...9 months is a long time to be dealing with something and all of a sudden it is over (dont get me wrong, we are truly thrilled to have a happy and healthy baby).  When I randomly cry and my husband asks whats wrong, I can never find the words to even somewhat explain my emotions...so I am left by myself to deal with my crazy mind.  With our first, I think it took me about 10 months to fully recover emotionally...I never mentioned it to my OB...this time around, if Iam still feeling this way...I will be asking for some medication!

You put it exactly  in to words!! I thought I even was just attached to my OB, but it is almost a great big letdown in a way!

 

hang in there!

yea I totally agree, it's like you experience a "loss" and you have to go through the grief cycle for not being pregnant anymore... a very weird concept.
