I'm a first time mom of two amazing boys under 2.... after the first ppd was awful, I was so depressed throughout that whole pregnancy and now 2.5 months later it's hasn't gone away and the anxiety has been crippling... anyone have any tios/tricks/ advice on overcoming ppda? I want to bind with my babies in the same way their dad is, and I don't want to hate myself anymore

First of all congrats, it’s a great feeling of being a mother. I am myself a mother and have a baby girl who is 14 months old. Initially, even I struggled with postpartum depression and also had weight issues but slowly when I saw my baby grow up I don’t know i forgot all the pain and got indulged in her. Also, my husband he was really supportive as he was my ear, everytime I had a problem or pain or wasn’t feeling myself he would be there. Have you spoken to your husband about the troubles and how your feeling ?

My husband has become so very angry and mean sense we discovered I was pregnant with out first, it got better for a bit after he was born until we found out about our 2nd.. now things are just awful as I feel he hates me

Well at times we assume things. May be he is stressed about work or some other problem. You should talk to him and clear it out as assuming will only put stress on you which is not good. Also, please think of all the good things in this world. Keep me updated. Loads of love and hugs 🤗

Hey! If it is persisting and you are finding it really difficult you should consult a doctor. However due to hormonal changes during pregnancy some women experience depression and it usually lasts after pregnancy as well. Because being a mother is no less than a super human job. But try to prioritise yourself and take help from your husband or family ask for it whenever needed. Don’t take the guilt. You are already doing the best you can. Give yourself time do things alone that makes you feel good about yourself.
