four days after i gave birth, parang na feel ko na sobrang down ako. iyak lang ako ng iyak for no reason. im supposed to be happy kasi finally dumating na baby ko pero sobrang sad talaga ko. 1 month din ako nakaexperience ng ganun and i never consulted my OB about it. kahit simpleng nagllunch lang ako umiiyak ako. na experience nyo rin ba yun?

ako hindi...pero ive studied about it and it's normal...dahil lang cia sa mga raging hormones causing you to get depressed, add to the the pressure of becoming a new mom and partner! i think if anyone has that, it's better to consult a psychologist kasi some cases lead to fatal issues e..

[kizzia]

           hi mommy andrew610 tama si sunmom its due to hormones and right its just normal to feel that way. meron kasing 3 phases when it comes to maternal adjustment yung first phase is the Taking In- mother needs predominant;mother passive and dependent. mother needs to talk about her labor and delivery experiences to integrate them into the fabric of her life, mother may need help with everyday activities as well as child care, food and sleep is important. second phase naman is Taking Hold mother begins to reassert herself, identifies own needs, especially for teaching and help with her own and baby's need, some emotional lability, may cry for no reason so mommy andrew10 your in this phase pa po. the third phase naman is Letting Go- shows patterns of lifestyle that includes new baby, mother may still feel tired and overwhelmed by responsbility and conflicting demands on her time and energies.

         Its ok din to consult a psychologist  kc when you don't overcome this phases yung sinasabi ni sunmom na could lead to fatal issues is yung Post Partum Psychosis po yun, if you could remember there are news na mga nalabas before na tumalon yung isang bagong panganak or pinatay niya yung baby na bagong panganak yan po yung nangyayari when somebody haves this psychosis kc nga nawawala sa katinuan.
           Your other alternatives naman mommy andrew is talk to your brother or sister or kng sino yung mga pwede mong makausap your mom, your dad, cousins mga pamangkin mo kc they can be a source of your support system din. And also take a rest din kc kng mas pagod ang tao minsan nagiging bugnutin din.  just sharing my thoughts.

hanggang kailan daw pwede magkaron ng post partum depression? 5 mos old na baby ko pero so far hindi pa naman ako nagkakaroon ng depression

[kizzia]

            mommy renaeh mostly kc it starts to post partum blues, yung before k manganak madami ding mommies nakaka experience nito as in admitted na sa hospital tapos wait nalang for the child's delivery eh makikita mo pa iyak nang iyak.  pero sympre we need to support them since yung mga relatives eh hindi pwedeng maka pasok sa delivery room and it also causes exhaustion kay mommy sa studies 70% ang nakakaranas nang ganito.

             This happens usually also upon the delivery and could also occur a year later.  Infanticide is most often associated with postpartum psychotic episodes that are characterized by command hallucinations to kill the infant, but it can also occur in severe postpartum mood episodes without such specific delusions or hallucinations.  The risk of postpartum episodes with psychotic features is particularly increased for women with prior postpartum mood episodes, but elevated for those with a history of mood disorders. Once a woman has a postpartum episode with psychotic features, the risk of recurrence is 30-50% with each delivery. Researchers have suggested that rapid changes in hormone levels such as estrogen, progesterone and thyroid have a strong effect on moods

ako naman hindi ko naman na experience na umiyak becaus of no reason at all...
ang napansin ko lang, eh i'd rather be quiet nalang, or sometimes alone,parang ayoko ng too much crowd, i dont want na yung magdaldal ng magdaldal, in short parang naging serious type ako, kasi before makulit ako, bubbly , madaldal...
i dont know if this has something to do with post partum blues/depression.
or bka nag mature lang ako as a person. dahil mommy nako.

[andrew610]

thanks mommies! actually na overcome ko din naman agad yung depression ko a month after. grabe pala pwede maging effect ng depression pag d naagapan. natatakot lang ako kasi since naexperience ko sya nung nanganak ako, baka pag nanganak ulit ako in the future e maexperience ko ulit. horrible feeling talaga at ayoko na maexperience ulit...

[gailey]

naku na experience ko toh. umiiyak ako kasi yung feeling na wala nang pumapansin o nagtatanong man lang sa akin kung ok ako puro nalang sa baby. kaya yun nag concert kami ni vierte nung 3wks old sya umiiyak ako sya din umiiyak buti nlang pinasok kami ng tita ko naiyak din sya hehe kinuha muna niya si vierte tapos hinayaan ako matulog at magpahinga.

thankful ako sa ob ko cause she was checking on me, tatawag or txt para kumustahin ako. maganda talaga kung meron kang makakausap. actually upto now kailangan may kahit 1 araw tayo in a month with friends para di naman tayo maloka

[youngmom]

ako happy ako nung nanganak na ko,as in,medyo sad lang ako when i was pregnant,di ko naenjoy pregnancy ko kc tinago ko sa lahat hehe. as in super sad ako before kc ayoko ng malaki tummy ko(siyempre i'm too young pa,feeling ko di pa ko ready),yun lang yung depression ko before manganak,wala pa kc ako pinag kakaabalahan nun,sabi nga ng bf ko,wala daw ako magawa kundi ayawin siya,sana manganak na daw ako! .pero the moment i saw my baby na,kiber ko sa mga iisipin ng mga tao sakin,haha,basta baby ko love na love ko at supercute pa. so nagulat nalang yung iba may baby nako. wala na ko mafeel na depression nung nanganak ako,the only time i cried was #1-dumalaw sa hospital ex bf ko-the father of my baby,i cried kc inaway ako kc nandun sa hospital bf ko haha,medyo emotional pa ko nun.pake ba niya,mas may karapatan nga dumalaw bf ko kc siya tumayong daddy sa baby ko kahit nung nasa tumy ko palang(even upto now).pampasira talaga ng buhay ko ex ko hehe,ok na sana ako e,bibigyan pa ko ng depression. >:(the 2nd time i cried,nung dalawang beses ako winiwian at tpinu poo-an ni baby!pagod at puyat na ko nun,so nung pumupoo si baby,edi palit ako bago diaper,tas habang pinapalitan ko ng bagong diaper,inihian ako,e boy kc,lam niyo na,yung genitals nila mataas ang lipad ng wiwi hehe,edi basa na ko nun,ash ko ulit siya then nung iallagay ko na diaper,nag poo poo ulit,with matching wiw,nainis na ko nun,nag iiyak ako,iyak din si baby,ako pa napagalitan.haha.kulang lang me nun sa tulog. yun lang ang depression ko,sa ngayon,i'm happy talaga,busy na kc ako kay baby.

just finished crying with no reason at all, i guess i am still into this right now, post-partum depression. as in pagkatapos umiyak tingin dito sa SP forums at hinanap ang topic na ito, somehow it helps me to let it all out, alam ko dito lang ako makakapaglabas ng sama ng loob dahil ayoko naman tumingin sa baby ko while crying, mararamdaman niya na umiiyak ako, been to that on my first month umiyak baby, kasi umiiyak ako... i just cried alone tonight, with all the pressure i am experiencing right now, it's difficult to be alone and nobody here can understand me except for my baby, if only i can scream, i would, just to let it all out...  i thought i overcome post-partum depression, di pa pala. i'm on my 6th month now but still, sometimes i pity myself... i can say i am officially tired and i need a break, sana lang meron magic na mawala yung emotional and physical  pressure kahit 1 day lang... please... 

thanks for the time spent reading this....

hi mommy claire! true lahat sinabi ng mga mommies dito...nagka post partum depression din ako at ganyan na ganyan din naramdaman ko pero na overcome ko din. ob ko pa nga nagsabi na PPD nga daw pinagdadaanan ko. napansin niya siguro...kailangan mo talaga ng support system. & you have to tell them para aware sila. or talk to a psychologist then isama mo bestfriend mo or somebody na mapagkakatiwalaan mo. para may nakakaintindi sa pinagdadaanan mo.. .

[youngmom]

having at least one person to talk to is important para maovercome mo yan sis.wala ka ba kasama now jan?
