PPD... Feeling bad about myself...?

First things first, get some Wellbutrin or other antidepressent. It helps a little. Then reassure yourself that a lot of mom's go through this. You will be frustrated, but you will get through it. It's tough to have babies so close in age and that you just had twins! I couldn't imagine. I have boys 15 months apart and so I know a little about what if feels like. Plus I developed hypothyroid so I feel like a big tub of lard. I don't have time to work out and I don't eat very much to begin with, so it's frustrating. Yeah, my husband says I'm beautiful, but I know he's doesn't, how could he? I'm huge! Of course, no one really thinks I'm huge, just me. Let's work through this together.

Girl you are brave! But if anyone can do it you can. I had an 18 month old and only one newborn and I thought I was going to lose my mind. I can't imagine how horrible you feel right now. Can anyone come help out for a few hours each day until you feel you can cope a little better? With twins and a toddler you will really need it.

I know you don't feel it now but giving birth is the most wonderful thing on earth. You should be very proud of yourself that you brought 3 healthy beautiful babies into the world. Feel good about the fact that 10 years from now you are going to look back at this time and laugh about how hard you were on yourself. Believe me it's not going to be easy but when all is said and done you will be glad you had them this close together. Good Luck and always take deep breaths before you make any decisions.

You definitely have a lot on your plate right now. It's hard enough with one child 18 months old, but now with two babies on top of that I'm surprised that you're even able to stay awake long enough to get on the computer! You are looking at a long future of sleepless nights (and probably days too) and lots of hard work, but it will be worth it. Just imagine when your children are grown and have their own kids, how much they will appreciate all your efforts. But enough about the future. You need help now. If your husband isn't able to stay home any longer, do you have any family around, or close friends?? See if you can enlist some help there, hopefully on a staggered schedule so that you can feel somewhat human. Even help with the laundry would be a great help. See if one of your friends can just do some of yours along with theirs, or stop by a couple days a week and do it with you. Make sure you have somebody to talk to. People who have been in the same situation can be very helpful, even if it's just to talk online for awhile. See if your husband can take care of the older son every Saturday or something, just to give you a little break. And believe your husband when he says he loves you and thinks you look fine--he probably really means it! You've given him three miracles. You may not look like a runway model, but to him you look like an angel. Accept the fact that things are going to be difficult and different, but it doesn't have to mean the end of ever feeling good again.

I'm not a parent, but I have seen my mom go through this. Either you need to tell your husband that you need him around and having the stress of the newborn babbies is wearing on you, and you don't feel yourself and you need a hand. Also you may have ppd (post pardom depression) or something like that, it happens to a lot of mom's that are under the stress with keaping up with trying to get their body back, keep their relationship balanced, taking care of the children and keeping their husbands and most importantly themselves happy. You might look into depression medicing, trust me it really does have an affect on you, I take it and when I first started taking it when I was very depressed it just brightens your mood, (does not make everything better.) But does show an affect on you and your attitude. Your confidence is going to feel this way right now, you just had two babies and you aren't getting any time to yourself, you need a nice gett away or massage or something that will make you feel better about yourself and have more confidence, maybe spice up the love life a little bit. I'm sorry to hear about this condition you have, hope everything works out. <3

Sweetie, you haven't even recovered from the delivery yet! I am assuming he sleeps when he gets home? See if he can for go a little of his sleep right now and get up at a decent hour to help you. I am sure you are beautiful to him--you just gave him twin boys!!

Get some help--a neighbor, a friend, someone from a local church, an adolescent mommy's helper--don't say you can't find anyone, you MUST!!! Give it some time, I promise it will get easier. If the depression gets worse or lingers, seek medical help. PPD is really quite common and nothing to be ashamed of. Oh yeah--buy yourself a couple of new outfits that are cute and comfy on your postpartum body! Take time to fix your hair and makeup, also. If you don't have that routine down to five minutes or less, now is the time to learn! Take a walk--good for the body and soul!

First off, congrats on the twins!

I think most mommies go through some sort of depression after having a baby. I know I went through a stage where I didn't want my hubby to leave because I was alone and sad (Esp in the first little while when all the baby does is sleep).

Have you tried setting aside some "me" time? Do you have someone to watch the kiddies for an hour or so? If you can, go out and get your nails done, or your hair done... Buy something for yourself. It will make you feel a little better. We all know that us women feel good when we buy things! lol

Every mommy needs to set aside "me" time, or you'll go crazy!!

Set up a night on the weekend where you can go out with your girlfriends.. wether it be dancing, or just get together and hang out!!

Hang in there :)

Hey there :)

Congrats on the twins!

Im going to be completely up front, and suggest that you may need to get some help through yoru doctor to help you and hubby through this time..remeber as well that males also feel the pressure when there are new borns on the scene and he is more thn likely covering up his fears/emotions. Maybe suggest to him to get some hired nanny help to help you out with the 18 month old while you are nursing the twins etc... or perhaps you have a family member or friend you could talk to so you can have some time out?

Im so sorry about the tears...hugs to you, and please try and get some help soon x0x

exercise when the kids are sleeping. this will take some stress off. your appearance will straighten up and try to do whats best for the kids. i know it's hard but you don't want to make your husband frustrated with your crying either.love yourself. you are strong and wonderful for taking care of three baby's at once.that is what your husband see's and acknowledges.

Quit feeling sorry for yourself and go take care of your kids. You made the choice to get pregnant when your youngest was only 9 months old so quit whining about it. It isn't about you, it's about your kids.

Seek professional help. Do it for your children :)
