I have heard about Baby Blues and Post Partum Depression years back after I gave birth to my first child. But how do the two differs? I learned that baby blues often last for two weeks after giving birth while Post Partum Depression often lasts a month or more.
I experienced crying for no reason at all after child birth just by looking at my little baby or out of frustration to that old dress I cannot fit into anymore. I have lots of thoughts on dieting that time and one thought cloud made my day – “buy apidexin asap!”
I might have experienced baby blues and a slight PPD but I know now how to handle them well. You know when they say you need to eat to make you happy? Or talk to friends when you want it all out? Or just cry when you fell like crying? That’s all true! It will help fight PPD. But if you seem to be crying for six months, I guess that’s another thing, go to your doctor and ask for advice.
