Beliefs related to postpartum depression

Postpartum depression is still often misunderstood and carries misconceptions. Here are some myths.

  • "You can't be affected by postpartum depression," which is not true, as all women who have just given birth can be affected.
  • "I feel this way because I don't love my baby," which is also false because the love is there but it's suppressed by other feelings.
  • "Postpartum depression is like baby blues," which is false because baby blues occur right after delivery, whereas postpartum depression begins the second week after the birth of your baby.

Deep breaths if you have someone that can help you out with your baby accept the help and if you need to cry it out its OK to feel this way

Sounds totally normal to me! I was the same way I kept complaining to my husband saying why am I still in pain why cant I do the stuff I usually could do! I expected to bounce back right after my first baby but no I'm about 3 weeks PP and I still feel exhausted and pain in certain areas! Depending on the kind of pain your talking about 3 or 4 days PP after vaginal birth sounds pretty normal to me!!
