Should I Call A Doctor?

in Postpartum Depression

For what it's worth, here's a bit of an intro. DD was born in July and when we came home I cried nonstop for an entire day. There were times when I couldn't console her, and so I would cry. I did have thoughts before, but never acted on them. There were two incidents where I got so frustrated, I scared her, but as soon and she started sobbing, so did I. I tried to hide it and it worked, until tonight. I was stuck in congestion for a good hour, with no where to pull over and DD cried for literally the entire car ride home (we were visiting my mom who lives 2 hours away). My temper got the best of me and I kept yelling to shut up, that she was fine, and there was no reason to cry.  But then I would start crying too.I know now that this is stupid, for one. DB even said I was being a "crazy b***h" and needed to calm down. I broke down crying, and now I wonder if I should just let it go, or talk to my OB.

 WDYT?

    If in doubt, of course, call your OB. I'm sure he or she will be happy to bring you in and hear what you have to say and get you on a good course of action. 

    If you need more info, I recommend checking out postpartumprogress.com for resources/stories/etc.

    Like ladipale said, call your doctor.  That sort of stress would make anyone a little crazy, but it sounds like it's building up to a bad place.  Knowing that rationally the stress and reactions are wrong is one thing.  But if emotionally it doesn't make a difference and you can't talk yourself down - it's a good idea to get some help. 

    postpartumprogress is a great resource.

    Yes I would see your doctor.  I have done some similar things too like yelling and my DD. That is when I knew I needed to get some help.  I didn't want to act like that toward her.  I had to go to my doctor today about something else and went ahead and talked to her about postpartum depression while I was there.  She gave me a prescription for Zoloft so I hope that helps.  Good luck to you!
