PPD ?

Before I got pg again I was starting to wonder if I was developing ppd. I was having trouble being positive about anything, which is very unlike me... I am generally a glass half full kind of girl.

Since finding out about this pg, I had sort of gotten some of my generally positive outlook back. So in my head there was nothing to worry about. The past week though I have been struggling again. I don't want to do ANYTHING I need to do and most days want to just curl into a ball and cry.

With Aiden I didn't have this emotional wreck stage at all, so I am not even sure when it is supposed to fall if it happens. I actually can look back now and say aside from m/s and later heartburn I really didn't have too many pg symptoms. So my ? I guess is would you just blame this return of the upset-ness on the new pg or should I talk to my OB at my appt. tomorrow about this? I have this anxiety about being the crazy lady that is constantly freaking out about one thing or another, which is what stopped me from talking to the doctor before I got pg, but now I think maybe I am just still being a bit crazy and it is hormones.

Ugh, sorry, I am rambling. Sometimes it really does help to just get it out so to speak. If anyone has followed this and has any advice, even if it is just a slap in the face saying it is normal feel free. I think it might be what I need to read.

Never feel ashamed or feel like you're the "crazy lady." I dealt with bad ppd and it didn't hit until LO was 4 months. It could be a number of things, really, including your pregnancy. Trust me when I say that it is so so so beyond normal to feel that way. I would certainly ask your OB at your next appointment and don't be shy to reach out to those around you. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon and can enjoy the 2nd beautiful life you're growing.

Beautifully spoken. All of this.

I'm so sorry you're going through this right now, especially while you're carrying your newest LO. There are many, many treatments out there for PPD and depression during pregnancy. Explore your options because, dammit you're worth it.

Hugs babe.

You're not crazy! I didn't get PPD until DD was out of the newborn stage. I'd talk to your OB.
