I'll keep tabs on it but for instance - she projectile spit up this morning and then cried (for all of 2 minutes) and I sobbed because I felt so bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hormones-when-do-they-get-better#post-327316 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:30:54 +0000 regberadaisy 327316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My crazy emotions got a lot better after 3-4 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hormones-when-do-they-get-better#post-327309 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:28:28 +0000 loveisstrange 327309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had PPD but I want to say that things got much better when she was 2-3 months old although I still have issues like hot flashes, shedding and other stuff at 6 months pp. It can take up to a year for your hormones to equalize again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hormones-when-do-they-get-better#post-327299 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:25:46 +0000 sorrycharlie 327299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so I was warned by my nurses that 3 days after delivery and 7-10 days after delivery can both be accompanied by some serious hormone changes.</p> <p>well, they started yesterday. I sobbed while she nursed because she's already a week old, tried to hellobee when i was bored but couldn't because every thread made me cry, etc etc.</p> <p>it's definitely not PPD in the way that I resent her or anything like that! more of just the hormonal everything makes me sob type of thing. </p> <p>but..I would like to be able to fill in her baby book and use hellobee without going through a box of tissues. when do the hormones level off a little?? </p>
