I had my second baby 9 months ago and recently I have just been feeling a bit off and uninterested in things. I wouldn’t say depressed, just slightly down.
I don’t want to do much with my days and just want to be at home with my baby. I am usually really motivated to do things around the house and clean etc but I just don’t feel the need to right now. I have an older child too however I don’t have much interest in going to parks, soft plays etc. which makes me feel terrible as he is a very energetic child who wants to be busy all the time.
I have been trying to get back into exercising and going to the gym in the evenings to get some time to myself which I think is helping as I do feel slightly better after it. I had plans with my friends recently and I just did not want to go at all. The thought of getting ready for it just filled me with dread. I think I am also struggling with my pp body. I have also recently stopped breastfeeding so could maybe be a hormone dip.
I am just wondering if it’s possible for pp depression to start this late on?
TIA
