Need your advice

Hi all.

I am 5 weeks PP and I've just finished reading PPD in plain English and think I may actually have PPD although I haven't admitted it to myself. I'm irritated and have no patience. I have lost the connection to my 4 y/o daughter and husband and I cry if HM raises his voice or changes his tone. This is not like me. I told myself it was just the blues, but I am not getting any better.

My 6 week PP check up is the 22nd of June. Do I wait until then or go in earlier?

TIA

    I'm sorry you are going through this. It does get better :)

    I felt the same around that time pp. I just knew things weren't right. I didn't wait. If I were you I'd call you Dr. I truly feel I got better faster because I got treatment quickly. GL to you!

    I say go with your gut.  If something doesn't feel right, then talk to your doctor.  I don't know how many times I said, "oh, it'll go away" or "I'll be fine".  After a few months and talking things over with my DH, I finally admitted I probably had PPD and I needed to take action.  Best of luck and you're not alone in this!

    This. I waited too long to enjoy the early months with my DD before seeking help. When it gets better, you really can be happy again - and the faster that happens, the better for you, your DH, and both of your kiddos. I'd call now. GL  :)
