Pregnancy Info HOME

I had sadness after my first son was born. I don't know if I would say it was severe enough to call PPD though. My fiance worked nights and after the baby was born I needed to have someone there for me. But my parents had just moved north and we were living on our own and every time it got dark Mike would leave and I was all alone with this new baby. Every time it started to get dark I would get upset and feel like crying, I associated darkness with lonliness. I still to this day hate the dark now. It no longer makes me sad like it did, but I hate it. Except for when I am sleeping I always make it as bright as I can. Never go around with the lights off. Don't really know if that would constitute as PPD, I don't think so, but it did come after my son was born. I also don't think there is a comman denominator to it. But, I breastfed, had and epidural, was induced and in the end had an emergency c-section.
