Do I have post-partum?

It sounds like Post-partum or baby blues. Don't stress. They say 1:3 women get it and it is related to harmone levels and just the huge adjustment that having a baby makes. It's such a huge thing to be responsible for this whole little life. You want it forever and dream about it and prepare but the reality is just different. I've also heard alot of new mothers say they feel "empty". after carrying this little life for 9 months, it's out on its own and not a part of you anymore. It's normal to feel a little loss of that special time you had. I am also expecting my first child in Feb...one I have waited a long time for and prayed for, but I expect some post partum. I have a hx of mild depression and that predisposes me. I can also imagine being jelous and selfish after the baby is born, My neighbor just had her first a month ago and still hasn't let anyone outside the family hold her. I get that though. I suspect there is a sense of "MINE" about the post artum period.And I've seen how after birth, families are cooing over the baby and mom kinda gets...left. That would be very hard for me. Anyway I wish you a lot of luck. I hope you take some time for yourself. Go get a pedicure or just be nice to yourself. Try to remember that its not ALL about the baby....just mostly. God Bless
