In tears over everything

TiffanyTheMom

I am crying nonstop. My face is puffy and swollen and I'm pretty sure I'm dehydrated. I cry for no reason. It seems worse when I'm breastfeeding, when I have letdown I just feel this overwhelming sense of sadness and I have no idea why. I know there's the thing with my dog and now my sister's cat, but I'm not really thinking of anything when the tears come.

Anyone experiencing this? I don't recall being this weepy after my other two.

I was like this last time after I had DS... but it was around 6 weeks for me.

I have been crying over the smallest things.  And I did notice it seems to get worse after breastfeeding (I'm breast and formula feeding).  And once I start crying I can't stop.  It makes me feel like a crazy person!

I know I'm still pretty early in this post preg thing, but I have been SOOO weepy its awful!  I'm sorry you are crying all the time..  But I'm right there with you...  I wish I knew how to fix it for both of us...

I can't say that I'm sad, but I do cry over everything. And I'm very reflective. I heard from a good friend/co worker today for the first time in abt 6 weeks - since I left work - and I cried when I got off the phone lol. It makes me giggle now lol. I was like that with DS but I had a pretty good case of PP after DS. So far, almost 4 weeks in, I haven't had the pp - or signs of it- that I had with DS. But I had anxiety stemming from my pp that reared its head more than a year after he was born. You've posted abt the possibility of having a little PP before - have you talked to the Dr at all? I think you said too that you had it with another pregnancy. I know its a tough thing to get through.  I hope you feel better soon!!

I cry over just about everything.  I even cried over DD's missing toy the other day.  Really, like she doesn't have a million other toys.  It's really random, and I think I did this when DD was an infant too.

I don't think it's PPD or anything yet, but I do think it's just a bad case of the baby blues. Baby blues are supposed to fade off after 6wks-ish, so if these feelings persist after then I'll see someone. My sadness isn't associated with any thoughts, it just happens and for no reason.

Ah I totally was! Luckily for me it went away last week, I'd only get sad during breastfeeding at night though. I would cry at nothing, my boyfriends mom probably thought I was insane when she visited, she kept asking why I was upset and I just keep weeping and saying I didn't know haha

I don't feel sad and don't usually cry over nothing, but I've realized in the past few weeks that I am extremely hormonal and things that would normally trigger a sad response start the waterworks now.  I think it is a normal response to feel a little emotional, especially when you are so close to LO and you are realizing that you created this little creature!  It may just be your body processing the changes in your life the best way it can

I def have what they call the "baby blues."  I get weepy and cry about random things, and get super overwhelmed when DH's family is around. I'm fine with my own family. His family...its like I can't cope and make an excuse that the baby need to be fed just so I can leave the room.  

I feel like my hormones are everywhere, and I'm super emotional.

Right there with ya, girl.  I am aiming for a tear-free day... I thought yesterday I was gonna make it, but I burst into sobs at dinner when DH said something about work (today was his first day back.)  So far so good today, but I probably just jinxed myself!

I feel like I read somewhere about a feeling of sadness with letdown. Bingo! Does this sound familiar? https://www.d-mer.org/

I think that being sad with letdown is in The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding too. You should definitely look into that.
