I know for me when Girlie Girlie was first born even just another adult around helped me get through the worst of times.<BR/>I want to say this too shall pass but honestly I don't think seeing a therapist or even taking something to even out your hormones is a bad thing. I still take something the week before and week of Aunt Flo just because I couldn't live with the person I was during those times.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with everything and I wish I was closer cause I certainly would love to help you out.

I had no breaks. Ever. <BR/>Remember it is normal and even ok to feel like this.Tuesday Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816799873933925204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18739705.post-50827337087722724532007-06-16T17:08:00.000-04:002007-06-16T17:08:00.000-04:00Wow.

I don't have experience with taking the pill after childbirth, but I also had a friend that did and she also when through the same thing.<BR/><BR/>Like Nita, I found when the kids were little that I jumped from one event to the next - whether it was a TV show or knowing that Garrett would take care of the kids for a little bit. My life was a series of milestones at that point.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there - talk to your gyn- she should have some recommendations. Do you have any other friends there with kids Little Man's age? Even if you can arrange to get together with them, even if it's not a "dedicated" care taking, the whole "it takes a village" thing kicks in and it's some relief.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831784791956398906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18739705.post-6515670994897300202007-06-16T08:39:00.000-04:002007-06-16T08:39:00.000-04:00whew.a woman i know went on the pill right after d...whew.<BR/><BR/>a woman i know went on the pill right after delivery and it was the same thing - but worse. i really think it's too hard on the body to add more hormones that it has no idea where they're coming from. my 2 cents....they still make condoms ;)<BR/><BR/>little man *will* give you the business. that's why it's important for you to take care of you! ask you SIL if she's slow on the uptake. she may totally surprise you. but i would suggest you be specific:<BR/>any chance you could take him to the park mon and fri from 1-4? if she can commit to a certain timeframe, you can count on that and it will bring you relief. my memory of infanthood is jumping from one expected break to the next... it's exhausting. and frustrating. and it gets really really amazing. as soon as she is able, she'll be so delighted with little man that it gives you a break!<BR/><BR/>it gets great. keep writing. it helps to know you're not alone.<BR/><BR/>xxxnitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597459215264934977noreply@blogger.com
