I haven't spoken to anyone I just can't get it out last night I wrote it all in my blog seems to be the only way to get my feelings out!! I spoke with my doctor about it on my post pardum appt and he simply said it'll go away on it's on just rest and get help from family members! That was no help at all <br /><br />http://claymarble1.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560270016852436220.post-1464538755381350162011-01-11T13:38:19.471-05:002011-01-11T13:38:19.471-05:00This post is so right on.

Of course, I got the one in training and she diagnosed me with severe depression. Thankfully I was smart enough to know that she was wrong and asked to see her supervisor. After a 10 minute visit with me, he could see she made a huge mistake. I was just overwhelmed and needed someone to talk to. I've learned to enjoy every crazy moment of motherhood, because they grow up so fast.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14957046100469037928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560270016852436220.post-13131288437913979852010-12-16T19:34:55.718-05:002010-12-16T19:34:55.718-05:00Great job!

I did...until about 4 1/2 years ago, I could no longer keep what I felt wrapped up. Our youngest was 18 months and someone made a little joke and the dam broke open! I felt like my life was coming to an end in a black hole. Today I am fine, but live with the haunting of what I have gone through. I can do nothing to change it, but it has been healing to be able to talk to other moms of what I have suffered. <br /><br />Enjoy your little ones. They grow way to quickly! I wish I could go back in time and slow the clock down!Momma Chilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843128486114976215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560270016852436220.post-30309340818200731282010-12-13T00:05:15.609-05:002010-12-13T00:05:15.609-05:00great blog! i learn few things in this post, thank...great blog! i learn few things in this post, thanks for the sharedownlightshttp://www.neolonlight.com/upload/Down-Light-168126129.aspx?CatVal=4noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560270016852436220.post-2362249339744341312010-12-02T17:20:11.567-05:002010-12-02T17:20:11.567-05:00Nicely written!

Although I am a couple years away from having children, I have friends with new borns and friends who will be giving birth soon, and I am excited to take your advice. So, thank you for this post, and know that it is positively affecting people!Michel Lehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757555267061400546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560270016852436220.post-59502118726045439562010-09-08T09:56:19.727-04:002010-09-08T09:56:19.727-04:00Kate: I hear you on the nap thing ... even at nigh...Kate: I hear you on the nap thing ... even at night I will lay there and think: "Don't even let yourself go to sleep - he's restless - it will be any moment now that he wakes!" I'm not as bad about it with the second one, but esp with the first he had to be out of the room on someone else's watch for me to sleep!!<br /><br />Susan: I don't think there is one single piece of unsolicited advice that helped me. At all!! Esp from strangers! Annoying!<br /><br />I, too, began getting sad and anxious around the last 2 months. For us, the second baby is the last baby, so something about the last month of pregnancy seemed so 'final'... as miserable and uncomfortable as I was, I didn't want the pregnancy to end. I still have a hard time looking at pictures from the hospital and delievery from both boys - it does make me feel sad that it's all over!Lindsey Brodskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319802403228845874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560270016852436220.post-75339983344755424732010-09-08T09:42:27.084-04:002010-09-08T09:42:27.084-04:00Thank you for the post!

My mom always says after the first one, you have zero time to sit around and feel sad. I feel like I have depression now, and I still have 9 more weeks! <br /><br />On Monday, we watched the childbirth online program from my hospital. And then, that night during one of my bouts of insomnia I started thinking about labor and just burst into tears. OMG.<br /><br />My pet peeve advice is: A baby is going to change your entire life.<br /><br />No shit! I think I've been told that a million times - and it's usually by strangers who don't even know me.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217948152486483280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560270016852436220.post-27586160983839113772010-09-08T00:37:30.297-04:002010-09-08T00:37:30.297-04:00Wow, what a great post!

It's really quite alarming considering how serious PPD can be sometimes. I also had a tough time after my first. Not depression out right... but intermittent crying and even despair off and on. Strange but true. So funny re: telling a new mom to sleep when the baby sleeps. That drives me crazy too. I have never slept once when my baby napped. I keep unconsciously waiting for the baby to wake up to nurse! I admit I'm not the best napper though. Thanks for the great food for thought!<br /><br />KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
