POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION

Hi Mommies, just want to know if what i am experiencing is post partum depression. So far i'm already 4 months going 5 since i gave birth to my LO. But i often find myself feeling easily irritated by surroundings. I always get mad or disheartened with my husband sometimes for small mistakes. Felt irritated when baby my LO doesnt stop crying. I think my mind may come to the extend on shouting at my LO as she cries almost all day long when she wakes up from sleep. She also hardly sleeps through the night. Once once or twice every week she'll slept through but other days she's going to wake up every 3 hours and cry for milk.

I think it’s more like everything is too overwhelming for you at this point and to make it worse, you don’t have enough rest or time for yourself (away from baby). I experienced the same thing as you, I am the main caregiver with no extra help. I get mad over the smallest stuff, over baby’s cries etc. Make some arrangements with hubby/family, give yourself some time off away from baby. After you’ve managed yourself, then slowly see what things are there to entertain baby, or maybe try to see what she needs. Their only source of communication now is thru crying, it will get better soon, especially when they are able to sign or use simple words. Hang in there! 💪🏻
