Who didn't experience any sort of PPD?

Nolegirl0923 · July 2009

I'm curious. I was just lurking and reading some posts about PPD issues. Did anyone not experience the baby blues or some sort of PPD?

I definitely have had my moments and I definitely had the baby blues. Just curious if anyone escapes it.

I didn't really have any significant baby blues, and definitely no PPD. I was just exhausted in the beginning, so I have a hard time deciding if I would cry and feel a little sad once in a while from exhaustion or b/c it was the baby blues.

I haven't had any issues....yet.

I think everyone experiences the baby blues- mine was really bad the first week, but it got better and hasn't progressed into PPD. However, I think PPD can develop any time the first year, so I'm far from saying I avoided it.

I did escape it this time around. With my daughter I was 'blue' all month long and it was a horrible experience. We came to a point where I was thinking of leaving my relationship. Although, my husband was SO understanding, he gave up too at one point because it became that extreme.

However, this time around I haven't had any and yes I had no PPD and I feel GREAT!

I didn't. I had maybe 2 brief crying episodes, which I think was more from exhaustion than anything.

This exactly. From posts I notice a lot of PPD signs starting around 4-5 months so I wouldn't say I'm out of the woods but I'm hoping.

I was lucky enough to have no depression issues. However I did turn into a major "mama-bear" during those first few weeks. If I caught you "making" my baby cry I was ready to claw your eyes out... and by "making" I mean being unlucky enough to be holding DD when she happened to get hungry or whatever... totally?unintentional?on your part.

It took me a few weeks to get over that ?

Neither for me, I don't think.

A normal period of adjustment to the new life, but no encompassing feelings of sadness, etc.

I had one day where I cried all day and that was it. I think I adjusted pretty well!

I didn't, my mom & SO thought I was, they just didn't realize that I am always a biitch.

I did have them slightly with DS, but I think a lack of sleep due to his colick was the cause it it.

With DD I haven't had any PPD at all. It's very different from my first pg.

I didn't have any baby blues or PPD.

alaskabride2be · July 2009

I havn't had any issues yet and am crossing my fingers that it stays that way as I know that it can happen at any time.

No more than usual. hehe. I've always had days where I get PI$$ed of at DH, or wish I had won the lotto, or not 100% happy. But, no changes.

I didn't have any sort of PPD or even baby blues. But than again I'm not a really emotional person. (I'm an engineer and sort-of fit the stereotype).

mrsjazzsinger · July 2009

None yet for me. I've shed some tears from being overwhelmed a couple of times and been weepy during sappy moments in movies or on TV, but those are all things that I've always cried at even before I was pregnant and had the baby.

I'm a pretty sensitive and emotional person anyway and I also have struggled with depression and anxiety in the past so I'm not saying I'm out of the woods for this yet - but so far things have been going so well for me.
