Replies dunebug Posted at 1:38 pm on July 4, 2009 I would keep an eye on it. It probably is just adjustment and exhaustion. Your hormones also take a nosedive around day 3 and continue to plummet for a few days. I've barely cried in my entire life and I hit day 3 and sat in a crowded hospital and bawled on the phone to my mother of all people, who I don't even like lol. The next day I was fine. They test here for PPD routinely and I aced every test with flying colors. But it is serious so I would keep an eye on it. It never hurts to talk to a therapist or Doctor about it either. :-) MamaMockingbird Posted at 6:20 am on July 4, 2009 It's just the exhaustion of motherhood. I cried every damn day for the first 6 weeks and I know I did not have PPD. DaisyMontana Posted at 10:10 pm on July 3, 2009 My mom suffered it, she recovered after 1 week and a half.
