I had my beautiful daughter on June 15. I am a FTM and going to be a stay at home mom:) Anyways, I went to my 6 week post partum appt. last week. I filled out the little quiz to see if you are depressed. My doctor says I was borderline. I have been anxious lately(I have always been anyways) but also I have been feeling sad about my grandmother who was recently put into a nursing home and has dementia. I have always been close to her and to see her health decline makes me really sad...esp. now that I have a little girl who I wish she could see more. I was on bedrest for the last 2 months of my pregnancy so I feel like I have been missing out on stuff and been in my house TOO long. But I am slowly getting out and want to start running again. My doctor told me to call her if I don't get better or worse. I am really emotional to and cry at a drop of a hat....will this go away on my own or do I need some help. I feel like I would be sad anyways because of my grandmother. But could it be my hormones all over the place?
I was feeling really sad too for the first three weeks. I talked to my doctor and she gave me birth control. Then she said if I didn't feel better she would give me something else. I am starting tl feel better now so for me I think it was just bad blues. Give it some time you seem to be going through a lot and the issues with your family are enough to make anyone sad so just keep an eye on it and trust your insticts
Thanks! It is also helping for me to get out with friends..even for a couple of hours. I feel like I have been isolated for so long-the bed rest and newborn-so as my baby is getting older(2 months) I feel like I can get out again:)
