When does it balance out?

[Teachermama]

I am pretty good all day.. but in the evening I get the anxiety feeling.. my stomach does the flops and my stomach gets upset. I know. Its the hormones causing anxiety but when does it balance out?

I want to know when to talk to my doctor. I am scared to death of getting PPD.

By 2 to 3 pp you should feel a lot better. It can peak before then though. If you are having a really hard time now, there's no harm in not talking.

PPD can also come on late. Mine didn't start until I was 8 weeks pp.

I think if it's bothering you, talking to your doctor won't hurt. You are probably also anxious about being anxious (been there, though not because of pregnancy/birth) and that's probably not helping. I have anxiety normally and mine is usually worse at night, so there may be something to that? Anyways, I hope things get better!

I have anxiety as well... I was off of my meds for the whole pregnancy and did well.. but I am having issues..

I get a tight chest and the urge to cry, upset stomach and the wierd feeling in your stomach.

Call your doctor.

I'm not sure how many days PP you are, but talking to your doctor about this stuff is always a good idea. If it's something, then you have started communication about it early and if it's just the hormone crash then no worries, but talking to your doctor will not to any harm.

Two thoughts: 1) call your doctor. It may be normal to have ups and downs especially so soon after birth, but I think starting the dialogue with your doctor about when/if to restart meds is always a good idea. 2) come join us over on MMmoms. Lots of good advice that comes from living through it over there. I don't post a lot but I read a lot. I find it helpful.
