Is this postpartum or is this just the new mommy feels?

I just feel so overwhelmed, tired, worried and emotional. I am 4 weeks pp and just thought that since I had so many younger siblings that I was going to be a pro at being a mommy. But I'm not. It's a lot more work than I expected and I can't sleep even when baby is sleep I am so tired but will be wide awake and I don't know what to do. I feel awful because my fiancé is so sweet and o currently don't feel like I have a nice bone in my body. I just get so worried and over think everything and then get this awful nauseous feeling and am looking forward to it going away. My emotions are just all over the place. Ill be looking at my baby all happy one second then just completely flashing on someone the next second. I was really looking forward to not acting all hormonal after the baby. *sigh

    I have the same problem types of problems and then some. I'm not a doctor but I'd say you've got the beginnings of postpartum depression and anxiety. My doctor referred me to a psychiatrist and they prescribed Zoloft for the anxiety and wellbutrin for the depression. It's not easy being a new mom. I also thought it would be easy but it's completely different than helping raise somebody else's child. I'd say best advice would be to see a doctor for your specific treatment. Best of luck to you and your family.

    Agreed with pp. it's worth looking into. The first six weeks are so tough emotionally, but if you can't take care of yourself it'll be so much harder to take care of baby. Meds will take the edge off to help you sleep. It's ok you're doing great mama!
