Have I got post Natal depression?
Hey ladies, I am 4 weeks postpartum. One day I feel like I’m doing well & feel happy and more myself however other days I feel angry & panicky & so stressed & low. I also feel completely disconnected from myself - like I’m looking down on my life. I love my baby & feel connected to her however just feel like she almost isn’t real? Or my life isn’t real? Or I haven’t registered that she is here yet. Has anyone ever experienced this? And I’m wondering if it is post natal depression. I’m trying to wait it out to the 6 week mark to see if the feelings subside / hormones calm down before contacting my Gp about it. Thanks so much for any advice in advance. X

I would let your doctor know now so they can help you track/ monitor your symptoms and get you help sooner than later if you need it. It sounds like it could be postpartum depression, especially if it persists.

I totally felt this way in the beginning, but if it doesn't go away after a few months, it's definitely post partum depression and I would talk to a professional.
