We
have come a long way in determining baby blues from postpartum depression
signs.
Being
pregnant can bring a lot of emotions and feelings of uncertainty.
It is certainly a time of excitment at bringing a new life into
the world and that in itself is a huge responsibility. On top of
the excitment also comes the side affects that mom goes through
both on the emotional, mental, and of course the more evident -
physical. A mom's body will have to make some pretty big adjustments
and it certainly is a time when the hormones goes a little crazy,
but once the little one arrives all that we have gone through makes
it all seem worthwhile and it most certainly is!
Postpartum
depression isn't something that is unique, is quite common and effects
a great many women. Those who have been effected by postpartum depression
have sought treatment and have successfully coped with its effects.
The
signs of postpartum depression are actually similar to those symptoms
of depression, however, what makes it unique it that is effects
new moms only. There is one other "bout" that new mom's experience
and we refer to those as baby blues. Baby blues to mimic postpartum
depression signs, but baby blues have no lasting effect, they typical
dissapaite after two weeks at the most. If you noticed these postartum
depression signs and they have a been experienced longer than two
weeks, then it could very well be postartum depression and the mom
needs to seek the help of her family doctor. Postpartum depression
signs are:
- anxious feelings
(anxiety), guilt, sadness, worthlessness, restlessness or irritability
- hard time
sleeping
- little or
no interest in social activities or things you at one time had
fun doing
- feelings
of resentment, no feelings at all, anger or fear about motherhood,
your partner or your child
- problems
focusing or concentrating
- your eating
habits change where you either eat more or less than usual
- can cry at
a drop of a dime or unexplained weeping
- headaches
or chest pains etc for no reason
There
is nothing to be ashamed if you are afflicted by postpartum depression.
It is quite common for mom's to go through this. The main thing
to remember is that it can be treated with much success, but it
must be caught early. If you are experiencing the partpartum depression
signs mentioned above then the next step is to make your way to
your family doctor and get the help you need!
