ANXIETY & DEPRESSION SUPPORT Calling all Moms to talk about Depression
#NotAshamedToTalk
Every Woman goes through 'Baby Blues' after pregnancy. However, feeling empty, sad and worthless all the time can indicate the possibility of 'Postpartum Depression'. Many international Celebrity Moms like Serena Williams have come out in the open to talk about this but Indian Moms are still quiet on this topic. Can Indian Moms come together & share their experiences about 'Postpartum Depression' ? Can they tell each other that it is normal & can be treated ? Share your Views Now

Hi.. I am mother of 6week old baby. I am depressed nowadays... The reason behind it is my in laws.

After my delivery, as I got discharged from hospital. We came home very happily. My inlaws came to our place to live with us. I was also very happy.

But the prob is that they try to keep the baby with themselves always. In early morning they took the baby.. During day time they play with him. Even if he is crying, they don't give me... Says we will manage. When ever i ask them to took baby they says, we want to play with baby..sometimes inlaws get angry with me

I feel like i am only the milk machine.. When my inlaws feel that baby hungry then they give me...

I am very upset... And me n my hubby always fight on this thing.

Plz let me know am i over reacting??
This is absolutely natural on your part that you need to keep your baby all the time.A mother waits for 9 full months to get her baby in her arms, and of course this period of the baby will pass like this only and you will not be able to cherish what you are deserving for. If this would be my situation i would have taken help from my husband and let my in laws know that they can never give baby that warmth which can be given by mother only.
I would suggest you not to be depressed anymore rather stand and take your baby from them confidently. Every relationship has some control over it, implement please!

6week baby is too small to play...indeed he needs ur love and touch..dnt think down it will effect ur health ultimately the baby alsoo be strong ...try to convince dem through ur husband..
u will b happy
same is my case. the only difference is that my in-laws live with me and so this has become everyday thing. and my baby doesn't recognize me, she always keeps crying when with me coz from 1st day she wasn't given to me, only when she needed to feed , she was given to me.
will she ever realize who her mother is or she will get distant from me ?

i am always upset to see my body shape now after c section my body weight 94 kg

becouse my husband very handsome

i am feeling bad to going with him now

its make me cry everytime

now my baby 7 month complited i m starting exercises

hope its recover..
here I want to ask a question.. y u feel u r now not as beautiful as u r before baby? this mentality of wife make husbands mentality negative.. u make ur own personality down by saying this.. its good to be healthy n in shaped body. n every girl want in shape body bt u all women's know that being a mother is the best gift given by God to a women which make us different from men.. be proud of u as u r.. u give a birth to a young one.. make him or her happy n not to worry about ur figure at least for a year.. I m also mother of 3 month baby n my tummy is also put on by when I m talking about that my husband say don't be care about urself nw.. u r more beautiful nw coz u r nw mom of my child n these words forget my all problems which I face after delivery.. so be proud on u as u got a gift from God.. a beautiful baby in ur arm.. love this phase of life it's beautiful.. 😊

Ye sabko pta h ki breast milk baby k liye best hota but har koi ye suggest kun karta h ye 6 month tak breastfeed de..
Agar kisi ko nahi aata hoga tbhi to wo formula milk pilata hoga na..
Jan buj k apne comfort k liye to nahi pilate na..
Sab gyan bantne lag jate hain or dusre bande ko guilty feel krate rahte hain bas
agreed
