Is it postpartum depression?

Question

I just had my daughter one week ago and I feel like she hates me. I haven't slept since she was two days old and I don't understand why I feel this way. My boyfriend and I haven't stopped fighting because of it and I just wish I could look at my baby without wanting to cry or give her to someone else because she'd probably be happier away from me. If it is postpartum, what do I do?

Thanks in advanced.

Answer 1

Definitely. Should seek medical help asap.

Condition might worsen if not treated. It's a common experience for women after birth. But differs to women.

Btw, congrats on ur bundle of joy!

Answer 2

Yeah, it sounds like it might be. Talk to a psychiatrist about it. Good luck!

Answer 3

you need to talk to your doctor about this, your baby does not hate you and i  bet you are trying hard to be a good mom. it might just be baby blues- they only last a few days or a week or something. try and enjoy your baby and remember she needs you more than anything else in the world. If you are stressed nervous when you are around her she will be able to sense this so try and relax and good luck

Congrats on your baby!!

It sounds like it might be postpartum...  I would give your doctor a call..  They deal with this all the time....

Do it tomorrow...  It's important!

Good Luck!

Answer 5

Sounds possible.  Call your doc asap.  And don't feel bad, it happens to some new moms no matter who we are or how much we have.  Take care of yourself so you can take care of your precious new baby who does love her mommy.

Answer 6

It sounds like post partum depression!  Call your doctor in the morning!

Answer 7

This is not the way to live. I am sure you would rather be enjoying your time with your baby-please talk to your Dr. ASAP. Caring for a new baby is tough-it takes a lot of energy. Do you have a mother, sister, friend you could ask to help you? Remember Brooke Shields and many other women have had to deal with this same issue and it can be done!
