Pregnancy Info HOME

hi apr. i had my son 8 months ago. No doubt postpartum was a little rough. The healing was a little slow and painful. But not everyone has a horrible time with postpartum! I did not cry everyday and i was not depressed. Please don't believe everything everyone tells you. You will be just fine. Motherhood was pretty easy for me and it still is. are you married? or do you have a boyfriend? I had my husband there to help me out whenever he could. He would take our son out for hours so that i would have a perfectly quiet house to sleep in. It was great! Listen, you'll do great. Have a wonderful labor experience and don't spend all of your time worrying about postpartum. Enjoy your new little one and don't miss a moment of it. Good luck

Thanks kvilendrer! Yes, I am married and I have a wonderful husband and we planned my pregnancy! I am not a little high school girl who did it by mistake. We got married and we want a nice happy warm family. I just want my baby to have a happy Mom and not a depressed one. You know what I mean?

of course i know what you mean. Just don't worry too much. Try to enjoy your new baby after he or she comes. Just enjoy being a mother. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but it's never happened to anyone that I've known. Like I said, healing and getting used to being a new mother is hard...but you will get used to it.

I am married, but we did not plan our pregnancy. It just happened. It was a wonderful thing though. I'm so so happy to have my son! Ar eyou having a girl or a boy??

I got postpartum pretty bad. But you will totally know if you have it. You get this heavy sad feeling inside that wont go away. I told the doctor right away and he put me on pills and I felt back to normal in a week. If you feel awful after having the baby, like two weeks, tell your doc right away.

I was worried about the same thing and then some!!! In fact my "really nervous about the postpartum period" rant still may be on here somewhere! I had my baby girl a week ago and so far my postpartum time hasn't been near as bad as I expected. I've only had a couple cry-fests, but they've all been b___stfeeding related- frustrated about some problems we were having, but we got those fixed and now everything's fine.

I had to have an emergency c-section. I was fine in the hospital, but when I came home everything was so overwhelming and I cried for 2 days, but after that I was fine. Physically the first week or 2 was the hardest, but that was with a c-section. I don't know what a v____al delivery is like.
