Question

I had my first baby 6 months ago (Im 28) and all of a sudden I get a little deppresed. Do you ladies go through that still??

Answer 1

YES, HORMONES, GIVE IT TIME AND THINK POSITIVE.

Answer 2

yes you can get postpartum depression 6 months till almost a year and half after they are born. I had it bad with both of my kids. I just had my son 6 months ago and man I would just cry about the littlest stuff. You need to call your doctor and let him know that your having depression and he can get you on something. Also another thing you can do until you see him is go out side and take a walk by your self no baby get some fresh air Or work out. I found that helped me out alot when I got off the meds. I hope I helped sweetie. I know how you feel.

Answer 3

yes I was fine after she was born but when the new wore off I was depressed I think my worst times were when she was around 6 months. I am still having a little depression every now and then ( she is 11 months) I think it is normal but if it get to disturb your everyday life then you might want to talk to a doc.

I also agree my husband does not help enough. Yes he works but I go to school full time and have a part time job. So I am very busy also!! I think I resent him because he can do whatever and I can not. I am still not getting enough sleep ( she wakes up a few times at night) so.. I think money might have something to do with it also.

Answer 4

I hate when people say try not to be depressed, you can't help your emotions if you could you wouldn't be looking for answers here.

It is really common though and you really should monitor it, everyone gets the blues and there is a difference between being down and being depressed.
I had postpartum and in my case it was frightening because, I knew I loved my little girl but- I just couldn't help but think that my life was over. If you find yourself thinking these kind of things then maybe you should ask your doctor about it..

Babies are extremely overwhelming.
Good luck

Answer 5

i've been a depressed person on and off for most of my life so I dont know if this is a first time thing for you or not but my point is just if your not used to it, its gonna be even harder and weirder but anyways its more than likely other things besides the baby arent secure or fulfilling enough to you to feel like you can relax and enjoy the baby, assuming its a good baby. When that started happening to me after having a baby I just got to the point where I had to ignore everything else and realize those other things werent going to change or go away any time soon and this time w/the baby was the only time ever again it was going to be like this so basically I blocked everything else out and just focused and the baby and loving her and taking care of her and it makes for a much better baby to when your relaxed and loving twords them they know, try to focus on the baby and not yourself that much, try massaging the baby and just being gentle and soothing. You are vary important to and if your not happy and healthy your baby will reflect that and react to it. Good Luck and sorry if this was alittle hard to understand KIMBUR

Answer 6

Yes, it is normal.. I recently had my 4th child on Nov. 2nd and I get very depressed too. I feel like I am trapped because I can't go out. I am constantly focusing on just my children and with the baby it is really hard because I have not had decent sleep for about 3 weeks.

My husband does not help me that much with the baby because he has too goto work and he feels that it's my job, and that he also needs to get some sleep so that he could be able to get his job done. I totally understand that however, he does not work on the weekends he could at lease help me then.

Do not get me wrong I do not regret having my children, I wish that I could have more help from my husband..

Try not too be depressed because you should look at your baby and say too yourself WOW!!! look at this beautiful baby that belongs too me. Just enjoy having your child and be happy because they are alot of women out there who can't have children and wish that they could... Good Luck to you and everything will be alright...
