Once again, I can't say I ever had any pstpartum/baby blues. Of course, that's probably the "dude" in my name talking. However, my wife did. It was a gradual buildup over the course of a few weeks until she would just break out crying randomly. Then our son turned a month old, and suddenly, everything was just.. better. Anyone else have it go like this?

I'm pretty sure I did with my first. Now that I've had my second, I feel SO much better than last time around. I didn't feel particularly miserable with #1, so this is really just a comparison between the two - but it's a pretty noticeable difference!

And doesn't everyone know what cures it? You're supposed to eat the placenta! XD

weirdly enough that does help. you lose a lot of iron giving birth... Eskimos have been doing it for generations.

Mine is in the freezer until my midwife clears me, otherwise it would be dehydrated and powdered and put into capsules. Not fried, at least!! It's the iron and the rest of the hormones sitting in there.

A lot of my friends told me it took them about 2 years to pull out of theirs. For me tho, mine is in a combonation of healing from my c section and feeling generally useless not being able to take care of her when I got sick. Luckilly i have extra help from my husband and roomate and I think thats whats making me have an easier time. So my advice, have help. Take any help thats offered. It might feel kinda bad now but later when you've had a nap and a small break, you'll be thankful and have an easier time.
