Postpartum

hey girly. i’m a new mom too and my pp depression and anxiety is the worst. especially at night time. i just try to give myself words of affirmation that he is healthy and ok and i am healthy and ok. we don’t have to be perfect. we are learning just as much as our babies are learning. you got this mama! you’re doing amazing 💙 what helps me feel less lonely is looking up new born mom routines on tiktok. makes me feel like i have some mom friends and i learn new tips and tricks from videos.

New mom here as well! Postpartum hits really hard in the beginning after birth, and especially when trying to figure out everything to this new chapter of life. My son is now one month old and I still have a lot of up and down days but just know it will slowly get better and that you’re not doing anything wrong! What helps is to definitely do as much self care as you can and get some breaks away from baby . Also getting out into some fresh air and new environment views here and there! Stay well hydrated and eat as healthy as you can and remember to eat in general! Keep taking prenatals! Also reach out to postpartum coaches/ counselors if you feel okay with that.

Unfortunately it doesn't go away by itself, talk to your doctor about medication. So sorry you're going through this and it can get better!! Please talk to your doctor!! ❤️❤️

You’re doing a really great job. I don’t have depression but the night anxiety is a real thing. Until she was about a month old, I dreaded as soon as it got dark ♥️ I would keep an eye on how you’re feeling and talk to your doctor if you’re still crying a lot in a week or so. It’s normal to cry but the everyday crying should start to subside soon

TikTok videos helped me a lot as well when I’m feeling down, looking at other moms going through the same or more, makes me feel better as well

New mom here too! So I have been analyzing why I’m having trouble and I usually do this out on the back porch while rocking my 1 month old. I have come to realize that I’m not good with change(even though I prayed for this and wanted this so badly). I was/am grieving my old life and navigating the new one. It’s hard to process but some things that have helped me is to 1. Remember to take your meds on time. 2. Go outside in the sun ( vitamin D is so good for your mental health) and 3. Go run an errand or 2. Get out of the house. I needed to just leave where I have been for the past month.
