Whats the deal with my attitude??
I have the children and am 23 years old. After having my 3rd and final baby two months ago Ive been a reck. I know that postpartum depression happens but didnt have it with my other children.
Im always crying or hollering over the smallest things and getting really bad headaches.
I get all depressed from being cooped up in the house with the kids and am constantly hollering at my husband for stuff he didnt even do. Sometimes I feel like im just looking for a reason to pick a fight with him.
Any ideas as to whats going on?

Your probably just stressed over having three kids around and never having time to yourself.I know I would be if I had three kids and had no adult time.

Uml. Go to a doctor or phycyitrist [sp]. Bc one day you mite snap and hurt one of your kids. Im not trying to dis yu or anything!! One of my friends dads did the same thing to his sister. Do it for your kids and get help.

Just because you didn't have post-partum depression the first two times, that doesn't mean you couldn't develop it with your third child. The odds are a bit less, but it's definitely possible.
Certainly your symptoms are compatible with PPD.
That being the case, post-partum depression is nothing to mess around with. You need to speak to your primary care doctor and your OB/GYN as soon as possible.
If by some chance your symptoms AREN'T due to PPD, there's clearly something else fairly serious going on. The first step is to talk to your doctors, who will probably send you to a specialist for evaluation.
PPD is very insidious. Mothers often find themselves hiding their symptoms. You'll need to try hard to stay focused, to remember that you don't NEED to feel the way that you do, and to have the courage to ask for the help that you need.
There IS effective help available. Please seek it out. In the meantime, get as much support from your family as possible. Remember, this isn't your fault: it's nothing to do with you as a person. PPD is a real, physical illness, and it can be very serious - as serious as a broken bone, or even more so. You need to have it taken care of, because believe me, waiting to get better on your own is a TERRIBLE idea.
Another thing: talk to your husband. Tell him what's going on. You might both want to read these sites, which have useful information about PPD:

Some hospitals have programs for mothers with PPD, by the way. You might want to check with the hospital that your baby was born in.
I wish you the best of luck, and a quick recovery.

It probably is postpartum depression. Just because you didn't have it with your two other children doesn't mean you can't get it with this one. My grandmother had 9 kids. Yes 9. She had postpartum depression with ONLY ONE CHILD. Just one. Which happened to be my father... the 5th child I believe. It's good that you're at least noticing that something is wrong, and you don't want to keep acting like that. The only thing I can tell you is to visit your doctor, tell him/her exactly what's been going on, how you've been feeling, etc. Then he/she could take it from there. But for now, maybe you could ask your husband to watch the kids for an afternoon and you and your girlfriends could go out to a spa and it will just be a day for you to RELAX. You're a mother of 3 kids! And you're young, that has to be alot to handle! You should really talk to your doctor about what's going on. It's not good to be feeling that way. Hope you feel better though!

Oh honey, I know exactly what you are going through. I have to children of my own and I am the same way. I mostly think it comes from the stress of running and caring for the children. I, myself, will keep a constant headache until I get out and away from my 2 little ones for a while and it will then go away until I return. I pick fights with my bo as well, I think only because it gives you someone to get your frustration out on. I would recommend finding a hobby that is soothing to yourself and also getting some ME time if only for a few minutes.Pamper yourself a bit, it will make ya feel better. If you need some to talk to feel free to contact me by my personal email anytime: juneybug6183@yahoo.com
Hope this helps!
