Many... many.. many women say that and act that way because they are " supposed " to... and even tho " baby blues " are normal...most women don't want to admit to it....I didn't get Noah home until he was 30 days old..... because he was a preemie...I couldn't BF because I was too stressed and dried up....Noah was on a monitor... was 4.5 lbs when then sent him home.... I was tired.... didn't get my water birth.. instead a C section...Bottom line.. it wasn't ANYTHING like I expected. Oh.. I was Blue alright... there were times I just wanted to sleep and forget I had a baby .... I just wanted to sleep 6 hours in a row without a feeding or alarms going off... And that was just 1 baby! I really hope you feel better soon Toi! K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hey Toi, It will get better. I am feeling the blues off and on here too and I was on super PMS mode the other day and slapped one of my boys and then cried cause I slapped him, I felt ssooo frickin bad. I usually have lots of patience but he was on my nerves all day and finally got it that evening. But I have been teary eyed alot too even though I feel so blessed but i think alot is the lack of sleep too. I was on one prozac a day for depression before but I think I ma going to start taking 2 if it gets worse. In always get the baby blues bad after delivery and it makes me feel so lonely and sad too. I sure hope you feel better soon so you can get off all those meds and get strong again. well, i need to go finish mopping, someones got to do it God Bless, Robin Wife to Pup for 15 years Mommy to- and (twin boys, 8 years) and Daughter Madison- age 5 1/2 and new Mommy to- Emerson Roger born July 28, 2004 at 4:11 am 8lbs 7 oz, 20 1/2 inches long.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hi Girls, First I want to congratulate all the new mommies in the group and throw out some support to those still waiting for their bundles to come and encourage those that are ttc. I'm still recovering, slowly but surely, from my post delivery problems. I'm on so many different medications right now that I'm nauseated all the time and struggling to eat. The good part about that is that I am just 4 lbs away from my lowest weight (3.5 months pregnant) ever. Bad part is that being sick all the time and trying to take care of my blood pressure and heart issues while taking care of two newborns and our home stuff is very trying on me. I also can't breast feed any longer because of the medications I am taking which is sad and painful at the moment. Thank God for my mother who has been staying with us since the week before I gave birth. I'm just stressing about the time when she needs to go home and we won't have any extra help. My doc started me on antidepressants, figuring that the issues of taking care of twins and my health could very likely cause me to experience more than a regular case of the " baby blues. " Are you kidding? I'm already feeling so bad sometimes. Hormonal changes, BP and heart issues, no sleep, etc. Ahhhh.... I know things will get better and I'm sure once my health improves I'll have a whole different outlook on everything. I just wish it would happen yesterday. I read about how everyone else seem to feel so good after their babies are born and they're sounding chipper and happy, and I feel bad for not feeling like I'm on cloud 9. My kiddos are so beautiful and precious, and I love 'em, love 'em, love 'em. Honestly most of the time things are feeling pretty good, but there are times like right now where I'm fighting nausea, trying to force down a half of a bagel with my meds and feeling worse eating, and I'm so tired from lack of sleep that I feel down. I guess it just depends on what time you catch me. Now is not a good time, but thanks for listening anyway. Some time today, I'm hoping we can download some pics so you all can see my precious BBs. Take care all. Huggz, Toi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Toi, What meds are preventing you from BFing? If you want I can look them up in my breastfeeding book to see actually how they cross the breastmilk. Maybe you can pump for now till you are off the meds and then go to BFing? Let me know if I can help.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 (((((Toi)))))) Sending you lots of hugs and positive energy, sweetie...Your post partum period has certainly been anything but routine, but I hope that day by day you are feeling stronger and healthier... I am so very glad that your Dr is being proactive and starting you on the antidepressant. As someone who has suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder in the past five yrs, I am at high risk for ante and post natal depression. My big fear is that I will stuff all the bad stuff away again so nobody sees it and then get into big trouble like I did before. I am fortunate (and sounds like you are too) to have people in my life who can recognize " the act " I can put on and who will help me if and when my fears are realized. I think I am more scared because we have had a rash of ppd cases at work that I have dealt with and it hits close to home... Sending lots of prayers for you and yours...and hugs to the beautiful babes... -- In OSSG-pregnant , mamaslilqueen@a... wrote: > Hey Toi, It will get better.
