one more question--about hormones

The hormones are driving me nuts. I am not sure if it's BFing hormones or PP
hormones. It does not take much to make me weepy and I am having hot flashes.
I am driving myself and DH nuts! It's not PPD. I'm just very ultra-sensitive.
Most of all--I feel extemely happy to be a mom to 2 wonderful DDs and am so
thankful.

IS the ultra-sensitivity something that is most likely caused by recently
giving birth or do the hormones from BFing factor into it? Will it get better?

I'd say it's from just giving birth more than anything. The bf
hormones/early postpartum hormones will even out before too long. I was
that way too, at first, and it definitely got better.

At one week postpartum, it's the pregnancy hormones flooding out of your
system. It's totally normal. Breastfeeding actually helps combat it, because
prolactin (nursing triggers a release of it) makes you feel relaxed and
content.

Carolyn, just came by to ask a question myself.

I think it's the postpartum hormones, not related to breastfeeding
(unless you are hurting while nursing). I wept for almost two straight
weeks (as you know ;-). It does pass.

I also know a few women who went through the same thing and
are FF.

Hope you feel better soon!

Carolyn,

I'd chalk it up to post-partum hormones. As Ir ecall, they were bad for the
first weeks. It should get better soon.
