It's junk punching time again

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

The first few PP periods are HORRIBLE. It got better over time for me.

how old is L?

sorry, i also hate junk-punching time. i went back on the minipill and it really helped me.

i'd just forgotten how old L was. i was at my junk-punchiest when she was about 6 months old.

I hear you. I got my first pp period last month while at the beach, and this month's should start this weekend on our way to our second vacation. ARGH. I'm also not allowed to go back on the pill ever. *sigh*

Although hurray for almost 6 months of keeping our babies alive.

seriously. i was so there. and, like you, we were in the middle of house stuff (when L was 4.5 months old, we moved). she was so fat and happy and cute and it was summer and we had a pool and i was intermittently crying and JUST NOT HAPPY. and i pretty much wanted to kill my husband all the time over nothing.

i happened to have an appointment with my OB then, and she said it's pretty normal. i tried to consciously chill out and be less of a snatchface and do stuff that sounded like fun and eventually i was less of a hosebeast.

My periods were already like that before I got pregnant. I'm screwed

hmmm...listen, you're normal. i happened to have a well-timed doctor visit, but maybe you need to make one. you'll feel better. just let it out. you have a nice life and a nice husband and a nice baby, but it's okay to cry over a car wash or feel overwhelmed about the house buying process. you need an authority figure to tell you that everything will be okay. someone other than me. ha.

I got that way before/during my period after I had DD. Except that mine didn't go away and it started to be not just during PMS/period time, it was most of the time. "Things" were going fine - the kids were great, DH was great, but I was SO MAD all the time. Like, if I had to put a dish away, I'd be cursing DH under my breath. Or if I had to sweep the kitchen, I'd be bawling while I did it. I had zero patience with DS when he acted like a 4 year old (which he was). I thought I'd just turned into an angry person. So it took me a while to talk to my doctor about it but I did go on an AD and it really helped.

Not saying you will need to - it's good that you're aware of how you're feeling. Keep an eye on it and if it gets worse or doesn't get better, maybe talk to your doctor about how you feel?

Jeh - Periods after babies suck the big one all the way to texas! I'm so sorry! Talk to your Dr. about it. For real.
