Post partum Hormones!

emdunn87 · January 2016

Shilo was born 1/21 and complete exhaustion and hormones are in full effect!

This morning I had to turn off the rise of the planet of the apes because it was just too much to see those apes in jail and it was making me cry!

Then I cried about how much I miss my dog! My parents are watching her for a few days while we get settled in

Anyone else? I think I need a nap

I cry multiple times a day. Baby blues are no joke. I had a c-section and I'm so sore and can't move much and I miss snuggling with the hubby.

Ok glad it's not just me, I'm not usually a cryer but that's about all I've wanted to do today

I had really bad baby blues for the first two week. I cried for several hours each day. It gets better! Hang in there!!!

I had one day where I completely LOST it everything made me cry- the most amusing is when I started bawling like a baby when I realized it had been 5 days since I poo'd- it made me feel defective like "what's wrong with me, I can't even poop" OMG it was bad. My poor husband. But otherwise I've been ok.

Yep. Me. I cry about every little thing. Happy, sad anything everything.

I'm an emotional person to start with but it's been crazy! I cry probably everyday several times. My Dad made a comment yesterday that he could make fun of me again and I laughed and said not just yet It's worse now then when I was pregnant.

I pretty much could only watch the food network because every show or movie I watched made me upset. For the record, don't watch homeword bound after delivery. The talking animals had me so upset...lol

I'm still waiting for baby #2 to come along (38+5 today), but I remember with DS how bad I cried about everything in the first few weeks.

The day we came home from the hospital, my inlaws came over with their 3 teenagers in tow. They were trying to be nice by bringing dinner over, but they stayed for dinner and then wanted to stay afterwards and hang out with us and the baby. I remember flipping out like crazy - crying and kicking them out of my house. Not one of my finer moments, but I was overwhelmed and my hormones were crazy.

I wasn't yet comfortable breastfeeding in front of people and I was still required to pump after every breastfeeding session (preemie with failure to thrive), so I felt like I had to keep hiding away in my own home. And, when I pumped, they wanted me to hand the baby over to them so they could spend time with him. What I needed most at that time was for him to be near me while I was pumping because seeing and smelling him gave me better output in those early days when my milk was still coming in. And, because hormonally, I wasn't ready to be separated from him, even for a half hour (I had to pump 15 minutes a side).

This time around, I've already told my husband that I don't want anyone coming over the day we bring her home from the hospital. They can come visit in the hospital and come visit a day or two after we get home, but I need that day to reacquaint myself with my new way of life.

I do that under normal circumstances. I don't think I could handle it will Alan Rickman just having died and hormones. That's my favorite character. I grieved when he died in the book.
