why are women so moody after giving birth?

Answer 1

obviously a man asking this question.I don't think i really need to answer it do you?

Answer 2

Have you ever had the intestinal flu? Multiply that pain at least 3 or 4 times. That's just the pain, now take your butt. You've just pushed 5 to 8 lbs by 22" out it. You can't sit as your too sore. Your body feels as though you've just been run over. And this baby. You now have a tiny infant depending on you and there is no instruction booklet to tell you if your right or wrong. Everyone is new to this and it's the most scariest thing in the world. Everyone is telling you what to do and all the advise is different. As for the moodiness. hormones are every direction, they ar trying to regulate again. You now can't get enough sleep, and you still have all the housework, laundry and cooking to do, plus tend to a baby and you feel all this is on you alone. Everything must get done and your too tired to do it. My husband was a saint. The only thing he couldn't do was change dirty diapers, he'd get sick. But he helped make the meals, clean the house, Learned how to do laundry and was the best help with the kids. He'd babysit so I could take a quiet shower, take a power nap, read or relax for a few. Don't know how I'd have made it without him. Might not have been the answer you wanted, but .......now you know!

Answer 3

I could write a book ( oh, gosh, I'll bet there is a book if you were smart enough to read it) about the reasons she is feeling like this but you still wouldn't have a clue because only a male chauvinist pig would ask this question. The only similar experience that a man could relate to would to put you on the rack and pull your your hips and pelvis completely out of the sockets. Then you would undergo the ancient art of bleeding until you are anemic. We could then give you hormone shots but at very irregular hours so you never knew when your peaks and valleys would hit. We can inject your breasts so that they swell to three times their normal size and become cracked and bleeding, then at 3 hour intervals someone will be in to pull on them. If that's not enough, we'll wake you up every three hours and allow you to play with a dirty diaper and have another breast pulling. At the end of these sessions, we will douse you with sour milk. You will be up at least an hour each session and then get up at normal time to prepare breakfast and get the world going again. Someone has to do all the extra laundry and it won't be you, will it? Since she is up all night anyway, she may as well do it then. Add an occasional head ache from the epidural and you have the whole ball of wax. It's called motherhood.

Answer 4

Because their hormones are all over the place and they are physically exhausted. Having a baby is a very emotional thing for a woman and emotionally retarded males have no understanding of the trauma a birth causes to the body and mind!

Answer 5

Just SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE, OK?

:)

Hormones control a lot of emotions in addition to body functions. The baby factory is a HUGE part of a woman's body and everything needs to coordinate. After the baby leaves, lots of hormones have to kick in to clean up and make milk and get ready for the next baby, and they have to settle back to pre-pregnant levels. There are a lot of conflicting hormones that have to get back to being "just right" after 20+ pounds of stuff got ejected, and the up-and-down levels appear "moody" to you.

Answer 6

I know when my wife gave birth she refused a game of table tennis 10 minutes after giving birth. I`d arranged to have the table and bats brought to the maternity ward. But the grumpy old so and so was too busy!!! Apparently something to do with her perineum

Answer 7

Because they just gave birth--you try pushing something the size of a watermelon outta your vagigi! Also, hormones are crazy after birth. Its the same at puberty, menopause, and periods.

Answer 8

You have to remember that when your body gives that much to create a life, it almost starves itself! Her hormones are all wacked out from that, plus it can lead to Post mordem depression, so be careful you aren't too hard on her! She just had YOUR child! It probably would go a long way if you just encouraged her a little bit... Good luck and Congratulations!

Answer 9

It is because their hormones are out of line after giving birth.

Answer 10

try pushing a melon out of your a**e and see how chirpy you are!
Seriously, it's all to do with hormones and the like. After the birth the body goes through really sudden changes and this affects the mood.

Answer 11

,Hormones, no other reason except that they had a life growing inside them for nine months and all of a sudden it is out of them they kinda feel empty after that. Other than that it is hormones they go all over the place for about six months afterward to get truly back to normal.
