My husband has been a big help. However I often stay up stressing about whether he’s doing everything correctly. My anxiety has been through the roof even causing some panic attacks. I am fearful that it might lead to some postpartum depression. I reached out to my obstetrician yesterday and she prescribed me some Vistaril. However it didn’t work. She said I needed to come in and have blood work done to see if my hormones are out of whack. But yes my anxiety is very severe at this time! I start to get very anxious in the evenings home… this just sucks!! How Long have you been struggling with insomnia? Do you have anxiety too? Do you have any suggestions that have been helpful?
Hello. I wanted to share my current struggles with you too. I am 15 weeks postpartum and began having insomnia. This week has by far been the worse in my entire life! I have been up for three days. I did sleep one night and then the following night I did not sleep again. It is creating such severe anxiety. I am breastfeeding and pumping through the night. I think this is what initially caused the insomnia, getting up and down all through the night either feeding baby or pumping. So I have thrown my sleeping schedule way off and I don’t know how to get it back on track. I lay awake last night crying and feeling so tense. I just wanted to scream and cry. I went from the bedroom to the living room and must have peed 15 times. Feeling very frustrated and scared.
