People of Religion & Spirituality, what's your take on depression and antidepressants?

What you're feeling is very normal. Especially with all the hormones. 1) 9 weeks later and I'm lucky if my little one sleeps for more that 3 hours at a time.

I didn't believe it from people who told me, but you DO get used to not sleeping as much as you used to. When my baby cried/cries, all I have to do is think to myself how helpless he is and how special it is to able to be the one to provide for him. It's okay to want to cry with your baby so don't feel bad about that.

Sometimes I just handed my LO to my boyfriend for a few minutes just to gather myself. 2) My breasts also grew to immense proportions and I'm pretty sure that I'll be surgically getting them fixed when I'm done breastfeeding. It surprised me when I got home to find out that my back pain was worse that what it HAD been.

Believe it or not, that's also hormones. It slowly goes away though so don't despair. My stitches hurt like a son of a b*** and the nurse told me that as long as I'm not bleeding excessively it would be okay.

You can still do all the normal things just do them at a slower pace. I'm sure your fiance would understand if you didn't accomplish things the way you USED to. You'll both come to realize that you can't do everything anymore and sometimes you'll feel guilty about it and sometimes you won't.

3) If you're breastfeeding then rest assured that you won't be a size 12 for long. It only took me a couple of weeks to get back to my normal weight. Yes your stretch marks will always be there but they will fade a lot.

You're a mommy now. That's the most pretty thing of all! The stress is normal.

You'd be inhuman if you didn't. Just remember that everything you do right now is for your LO. Just look at his beautiful face.

Look how peaceful he looks. How innocent he looks. He came from inside you where you cared for him and loved him.

He depends on you to do the same thing now that he's out. He only cries because he doesn't know how else to communicate with you. You don't feel attractive right now and you're in pain but guess what?

It all goes away and YOU go back to normal. Just look at his little face and know that he loves you and so does tour fiance! Congratulations to you and your new arrival!

Feel free to email me if you want to. Even if it's just to vent!

I was 17 when I had my daughter and been threw some of the same as you, than again at age 19. Critial times of where hormons are major balance and body immage is everything. Just remember, the 1st 6 weeks are the hardest but will just fly past!... You'll look back and laugh at how easy it was... With the now sleep, try to pump so that your Fiance can do a night feeding so that you can get a nap.

And believe me it's the truth, SLEEP WHEN YOUR BABY SLEEPS. If he takes a nap, you go and take a nap with him, the dishes can wait. You need the rest With your breast being so big and sore, the best thing is hot compresses and massaging them.

And if you feel like your still too full after nursing, best thing to do is pump and save the milk for when you need a break from your baby boy. And for the back thing, your just gonna have to push threw it. Bravado nursing bras are amazing!

I'm no long nursing but still wear mine. So yo might wanna look into those. Same with a really good nursing pillow, and if your back is really hurting while nursing, lay down to nurse him.

And the whole body thing, you need to let that go and not worry about it. You carried your son for 9 months, your body was put on rental to house, feed, carry and be the amazing place for your child to grow. Once your son is about 3 weeks, start working out with him, go out for walks and runs to get back into shape.

After 3 months, go back to the gym and be the best you. And for strech marks, get bio oil and use body butter everyday. They will fade, but don't let your body be your major issue.

You have a brand new baby boy who is your everything as you are is Good luck and congrats on your new born son. And no your not a major baby for crying with your son, it's normal.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
