Visions of a sweet and sleeping newborn filled your thoughts and your days as you awaited the arrival of your little bundle of joy. You thought it would be perfect. You expected to be insulated inside a bubble of perfection, happiness, and bliss. But now you just feel overwhelmed and sad. How can this be happening? What is happening? Is this normal?<\/p><p><strong>Baby Blues in Suwanee, GA<\/strong><\/p><p>You are probably experiencing what is called the \u201cbaby blues.\u201d Baby blues can be described as a mild and temporary moodiness. Between <a href=\"https:\/\/healthychildren.org\/English\/ages-stages\/prenatal\/delivery-beyond\/Pages\/Understanding-Motherhood-and-Mood-Baby-Blues-and-Beyond.aspx\">50 &#8211; 80 percent<\/a> of postpartum women experience some form of them. They can last a few hours, several days, or as long as two weeks. <a href=\"https:\/\/marchofdimes.org\/pregnancy\/baby-blues-after-pregnancy.aspx\">Symptoms<\/a> include sudden tearfulness, irritability, anxiety about your health or the health of your baby, sleeplessness, impaired concentration, a feeling of isolation, and headaches. The good news is that baby blues usually resolve on their own within a few weeks with support from loved ones, patience, and rest. <strong>Baby blues are not the same thing as <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/marchofdimes.org\/pregnancy\/more-than-blues-dealing-with-postpartum-depression.aspx\"><strong>postpartum depression<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>Postpartum Depression in Suwanee, GA<\/strong><\/p><p>Some women (about 1 in 5) experience a more disabling and persistent form of depression called <a href=\"https:\/\/healthychildren.org\/English\/ages-stages\/prenatal\/delivery-beyond\/Pages\/Understanding-Motherhood-and-Mood-Baby-Blues-and-Beyond.aspx\">postpartum depression<\/a> (PPD).\u00a0 Postpartum depression can begin anytime within the first year after childbirth. The<a href=\"https:\/\/healthychildren.org\/English\/ages-stages\/prenatal\/delivery-beyond\/Pages\/Understanding-Motherhood-and-Mood-Baby-Blues-and-Beyond.aspx\"> symptoms<\/a> of PPD last longer and are more severe than those associated with baby blues.\u00a0 They may include things like sleeping too much or not at all, lack of joy, loss of interest in things that you previously enjoyed, emotional numbness, withdrawal, a sense of failure or inadequacy, and all this may be accompanied by mood swings. This is, by no means, an exhaustive list, but it can help you to determine if what you are feeling is beyond the scope of the \u201cbaby blues.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>There is Hope <\/strong><\/p><p><strong>\u00a0If you are feeling depressed after having a baby, you do not have to suffer alone. Please tell a loved one and call your medical provider right away<\/strong>. You do not have to power through it, and you do not have to suffer in silence.<strong> There are <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/healthychildren.org\/English\/ages-stages\/prenatal\/delivery-beyond\/Pages\/Understanding-Motherhood-and-Mood-Baby-Blues-and-Beyond.aspx\"><strong>effective treatments<\/strong><\/a> which may include \u201ctalk therapy or at times some combination of antidepressant medication, talk therapy, and supportive community resources.\u201d <strong>All babies deserve the chance to have a healthy mom, and you deserve the chance to enjoy your life and your children<\/strong>.<\/p><p><strong>Obria is Here to Support You <\/strong><\/p><p>The staff at Obria near Suwanee can help you to identify resources and activities that may help to facilitate a return of joy and restore an interest in daily activities.
