I would have thought the NICU nurses would have been more prepared for it but they looked at me like I was crazy which only made me feel worse. It definitely lasted a few months, which makes me nervous for next time.</p> <p>Were you emotional like this when you had A? Or is it different this time around? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499999 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 03:27:11 +0000 anonysquire 1499999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man it's bad! If anyone brings up work I bust into tears. Or if someone asks what I like about being a mom I lose it. But I've always been a bawl baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499993 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 02:59:55 +0000 SweetMamaM 1499993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still am, a month later. Hormones and fatigue are such a fantastic mix! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499991 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 02:40:54 +0000 lamariniere 1499991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a big hormonal mess after my son was born. It must have lasted at least 2 months. With my daughter, I was totally and completely fine. I kept waiting for a meltdown but it never came and she's now 3.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499983 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 01:39:21 +0000 shopaholic 1499983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes! I think the 2nd week was particularly the hardest! I'd cry and have crazy hormonal nightmares! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499981 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 01:34:10 +0000 Kimberlybee 1499981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cried at everything for months and I used to never cry very easily! Some days I didn't even want visitors because that meant I would have to put a bra on, take a shower, and tidy up the house. So I avoided texts and calls, would reply later stating that I was napping earlier so I missed their calls. That made me feel guilty so I would cry about that too! I think I felt like myself again at 7 months PP. Hang in there! Hugs!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499823 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 20:59:28 +0000 MrsKoala 1499823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still a hot mess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499813 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 20:50:17 +0000 raintreebee 1499813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! 7 weeks and counting... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499768 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 20:23:44 +0000 Charm54 1499768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohhhhh yes!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499717 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 19:52:55 +0000 catlady 1499717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

For no reason whatsoever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499583 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 18:44:33 +0000 Caly 1499583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dude, I was a hot mess for about 6-8 weeks. A weepy hot mess. You name it, it made me cry. Or, the waterworks would come with no warning at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499541 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 18:25:46 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1499541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: *hugs*</p> <p>I was a certified psycho weeks 1-2. I was only slightly crazy 3-6 weeks and I really felt normal around 10weeks, but that's when he started sttn too, I'm sure that was a big part of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499522 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 18:21:03 +0000 MrsH 1499522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, still am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499516 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 18:19:31 +0000 Ra 1499516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was intensely emotional for 3-4 months. I'm still more emotional than I was prior to LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499472 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 18:03:31 +0000 californiadreams 1499472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big time. It lasted at least 2 months but was the worst in the first few weeks I guess. Can't remember exactly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499448 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 17:57:17 +0000 Running Elley 1499448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really bad for the first 2-3 weeks after #1 was born. I cried over absolutely everything! With #2 it only lasted a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499444 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 17:56:44 +0000 Smurfette 1499444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was for months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499440 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 17:55:04 +0000 indi 1499440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty emotional the first week or 10 days, but I think that lack of sleep had a lot to do with that. I'd suggest trying to take as many naps as you can and make sure that you're getting plenty of food and water, as I know that helped me feel a lot better during those early days when PP hormones were all over the place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499439 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 17:54:48 +0000 lemondrop 1499439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With #1 I was very, very much so! It took about 8 weeks to settle down so things wouldn't make me cry at the drop of a hat (Day 2- until somewhere during the 7th week). I'm definitely waiting to see what happens this time around, but it's too early to tell how I feel. I think staying out of the NICU has helped me quite a bit this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499434 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 17:51:54 +0000 Beyond2 1499434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was an emotional wreck weeks 2 and 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-emotional-pp#post-1499428 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 17:48:23 +0000 Bao 1499428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hormones are all out of whack and the silliest things make me sad. DH has been amazing helping with A and doing everything around the house, but he has to go back to work tomorrow and I'm so sad I cry about it. I'm hoping I start to feel normal soon. Were you emotional PP? How long did it last? </p>
