How long are you hormonal for after having a baby ?

[littleweedandherflowers]

Just as the title says really ?!

What do you mean by ‘hormonal for’?

Like until your hormones return to normal x

A year? If you're breastfeeding. You're fertile pretty much immediately but breastfeeding will have an effect on hormones and fertility.

24 years in my case!

I was told two years but I definitely think you start to feel more normal before that. If you're breastfeeding, I felt a massive hormone shift when I stopped as well.

till 45-55?

If by hormonal you mean moody and irritable and upset then it depends on your circumstances. If you still have the baby blues after a month it's time to speak to the GP but I guess I'm not sure what you mean but hormonal.

do you mean the really bad part at the start when you want to jump off a cliff? That’s around 2 weeks.

If you stop breastfeeding abruptly then the sadness hits again. I believe in both cases it’s due to progesterone dropping but someone may come along to correct me..

I began feeling like myself again after about 18 months.

But - I think this was mainly down to sleep.

Partner just said I couldn’t possible be hormonal now ! Baby is 4 and a half weeks x

I think you need to clarify what you mean by hormonal.

If you had a baby 4 weeks ago and are still experiencing the baby blues then you need to seek help.

If you are grumpy from sleep deprivation and partner not pulling his weight then your partner needs to help rather than blame you for being "hormonal."

If you are using having a new born and hormones to explain being unkind to your partner, you need to stop.

What are you actually asking here?

How do you actually feel.

Partner constantly moaning at me, every day something isn’t quite right! I’ve been really unwell with 2 lots of infections, he’s not been supportive at all I had a c section x

@Iloveeverycat like he’d be happy if I just disappeared to be honest ! He is constantly glaring and having sarky comments, doesn’t care how unwell I’ve been hasn’t made it easy for me to heal at all, he’s got too much to do ( what I’d do on a daily basis ) etc xxx

If its only been 4 half weeks and you have had a c section and 2 infections no wonder you are not feeling yourself.

Forever

You need 6 weeks to recover from a major abdominal surgery so it is to be expected that you are not feeling completely right. With the infections on top of it I'm not at all surprised if you're feeling pretty crap.

He sounds like he's being unreasonable. Only you know of this is a pattern or an unusual response by him.

I think you have an unsupportive partner issue not a hormone issue.

Your partner sounds horrible has he always been like this.
Do you have any family that can help with things.

Been about 18 years so far

you're hormone problem is you holding back from tearing a strip off your useless ignorant husband.
you need to get this bs off your chest and if you end up going it alone as a single parent so be it.
you will have hormonal fluctuations, and a relationship with your child for a lifetime. him maybe not.

Maybe you should agree, something is definitely wrong and go along to the GP/ midwife/HV together so he can explain all his concerns about how you should be functioning 4 weeks after a C section.

Everyone, men and women alike, has hormones all the time.

Your H seems to have a testosterone problem.

You need to get support from people other than this useless waste of space, and you should plan on leaving him.

You're having a normal reaction to a man being a twat. Hormones are unrelated.
