It sounds like you have a case of the "baby blues." You're not alone: The postpartum period is a time of transition and the post-baby blues affect 70 to 85 percent of new moms. It usually begins within three days of giving birth and can last up to two weeks, going away on its own with rest and support. Postpartum depression, which affects around 10 percent of moms in the year after giving birth, is more intense and must be present for more than two weeks to distinguish it from the more general baby blues.
If you find you are having symptoms of postpartum depression, such as feelings of depression, sadness, exhaustion or helplessness that are affecting your day-to-day life and last for more than two weeks after you give birth, or if you have any thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, be sure to talk to your care provider right away so that you can get the treatment you need.
-----------------------------------------------------------------Well, i sure don't haf any thoughts of harming Khayra or Jazz or myself or even Azam but i do haf sumkinda nervousness from time to time. I hope this will be over soon.
Sorry i haven't got the time to finish my Hospital Experience write-ups, having two kids sure is making me a lot busier than before. I haf little time to rest, barely sleep at nite in fear i won't wake up to Khayra's feeding time, and during d day since Azam's already resumed working i hafta take care of Jazz n Khayra both, Syamin's around to help some of d time though. Also of course, i'm taking care of myself, the woman in confinement.
