[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PS. also - despite PPs saying this is not normal, it's actually incredibly common for new moms to have feelings and symptoms like this. I remember feeling like I had never felt so terrible in my entire life as I felt about a week into being a new mom. I felt physically terrible from the birth, I was exhausted and stressed about breastfeeding and experiencing major anxiety. I think PPs are saying instead that it's important that you get help from your doctor and also a therapist/psychiatrist. Also more moms feel this way than you might think. It's a hard transformation into motherhood. You're just at the hardest part right now - hang in there.[/quote]
It is absolutely not normal to be exhausted and not be able to shut your brain off for more than an hour to sleep. [/quote]
I had this problem. It was like adrenaline was pumping and my mind was constantly on. I couldn’t relax enough to sleep, eat, or sit still. I was 106 pounds at my six week checkup and the doctor had absolutely nothing to ask/say. It was my first and I felt like it was normal. I have another now and I know it was PPA. I didn’t treat it but I should have. [/quote]
