[quote=Anonymous]I had it after my first child was born and cried all the time. My OB didn't pay any attention to it- he said I had a beautiful baby and you'll get over it. What helped a tremendous amount for me was to get out and walk the baby for about an hour every day. I also would run an errand, etc to get out for 30 minutes without baby each day. When I had my second child, I felt the blues as well but was so busy with the toddler and infant, it wasn't nearly as bad and I got over it quicker. I think it's a lot of hormones raging and a huge life change when having a baby. Good luck OP- do talk to your doctor about it, make sure you get enough sleep and exercise and a little bit of time for yourself. Becoming a mom is wonderful but also difficult and know that the depressed feeling does go away over time.[/quote]
