My goodness how amazing it is to have such a supportive, helpful, loving husband. Who didn’t question or judge you for having those emotions and thoughts that you couldn’t control. God bless you both. You have a wonderful family.
❤❤ I cannot be without exercise for too long because my emotional always go down. So when I had my 1st baby in December that was my fear. I knew the hormone drop was coming and I couldn’t exercise for 6 weeks or longer. So I tried my best but I also was diagnosed with PPD and I’m treating it now. You are so strong!! We will get through this.
You are a beautiful human mama. Not perfect but perfectly formed as a mom & wife. Don't judge yourself harshly. You are amazing!!! I love watching your beautiful family.
I am so happy and proud of you Shawn to have shown us your very most vulnerable side of postpartum, please take care of yourself. You have a beautiful husband who just adores you, U2 will be good. Blessings to your family.
This was so beautiful Shawn! I’m so sorry that you went through every moment of the pain & struggle. All feelings are valid in the moment ❤ you’re an amazing person (not just mom)
My children are all in their 20’s now, but I am here listening to your experience remembering everything you are feeling. It is the hardest thing I have ever done being a mom. I’m so proud of your bravery to share with all of us the struggle of being a mom. It is the most selfless experience you will ever experience. No one can ever truly prepare or understand because everyone has a completely different perspective and experience…now I’m to the stage in life of menopause and it’s just another “ton of bricks” thrown at you. Life is always an adventure that’s for sure. I’m glad you have a good partner to talk through all of this with.
You are an amazing mom!! You are so hard on yourself and you are doing the best job. Your children and husband adore you. Take care of you and everything everything else will fall in line.
Relate sooo much to this. I ended up having PPD with my third baby and struggled so much with it. Like whats so different about this third time around? Ended up 3 months PP still crying in the costco parking lot when i finally admitted to myself that I needed more help and started taking antidepressants. Over a year later tried going off of them and still struggled so back on the meds. Thank-you so much for sharing and showing the struggle.
I was feeling like this I can relate so much. I can’t have dairy and I can’t push myself so much to workout because my milk dips too I can’t diet either I still have 6lb left I’m short so it shows. I love breastfeeding but it’s a sacrifice. I started working out at 6 month postpartum and now I’m 8month postpartum I can’t seem to loose the additional 6lb I run 3 miles a day And keep on going back and forth on the scale but my clothes are fitting different. Anyway I am just rambling here. To all the postpartum mothers out here just know that one day we are going to start feeling like ourselves again. My focus has been loving my baby boy at 6 month postpartum I decided to stop neglecting my self and I am much happier am a better mom. You have to do one thing a day that makes you happy even if is something small make a little time for yourself.
The tremble in her voice just brought me to tears. Even after 10 years, I remember all those feelings like they happened yesterday. There's a heaviness that is ALWAYS on your shoulders. And that's not even taking into account the GUILT that inevitably kicks in. I felt SO guilty that I wasn't enjoying every second of those first few months. When I would be home alone with my son, I would cry while rocking or feeding him, and just apologize to him over and over for having a broken mommy. It was horrible. If it hadn't been for my wonderful husband, I would never have come out of that. Even after a long day of work, he would come home, shower, & take the baby so that I could go shower alone or do whatever I needed to feel better. To this day, I still thank him for his constant support. New moms need to be told NOT to have expectations of how this stage will be. Rarely will things go the way you imagined. And that's perfectly ok! Sometimes breastfeeding ISN'T the best option. And that's totally fine! Very often, babies just cry a lot, regardless of how well taken care of they are. And guess what? That's still ok, and they will grow out of it! If you're going thru this, be nicer to yourself. And lean on any support system if you're fortunate enough to have one ❤
I went through the same things 23 years ago but unfortunately I never caught what was going on and didn’t have as a supportive group either. My son had colic and was never sleeping and I had an 18 month old also depending on just me. It took me years to realize something was wrong it was by the grace of God I got thru as well as I did.
Thank you for this so much @shawnandandrewpodcasts I can't tell you what this honest conversation means to a pp mama. Currently 3 month pp and I don't feel this during this pp, but with my 1st I struggled so much! And it was 2020 and I felt so freaking alone. This real conversation has to be had so much more openly. Thank you for sharing and know your not alone! ❤
I don't understand the obsession with the breastfeeding. Her body is literally falling apart and she's breastfeeding. As if that's the only means to feed a child. I do not understand women's egos. A fed baby is a fed baby. Twenty seven
lol huh? Men have egos too. Society put this ignorance onto women that they need to breastfeed their child. If they don’t, they a one binding or being much of a mother. If they choose to use formula, they’re not much of a mother. Do research into this before commenting. It’s not an “ego” thing.
My goodness how amazing it is to have such a supportive, helpful, loving husband. Who didn’t question or judge you for having those emotions and thoughts that you couldn’t control. God bless you both. You have a wonderful family.
Keep telling your story. Many moms go through this and need to know they are not alone.
I just saw a video on Korean postpartum centers . We so need this here in the USA
Thank you for being so transparent ❤
Don’t be hard on yourself Shawn. You’re an awesome mom

Family support and team work, makes the dream work!♥️🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You are an amazing mom!! You are so hard on yourself and you are doing the best job. Your children and husband adore you. Take care of you and everything everything else will fall in line.
I feel like this all the time and I’ve been out of the postpartum stage for a while now.
Same I’m 6 months pp and still feel off
@@JCASS24hey reach out for help. It could be delayed postpartum depression. It’s normal to feel off up to A YEAR postpartum. Hugs ❤
@@JCASS24Post partum depression can go on for a long time. My daughter-in-law had it for about 18 months.
Shawn is such an amazing person! ❤ she so so beautiful inside and out. ❤

It’s not an “ego” thing.
It's not ego. It's a feeling of failure. And missing that one bonding opportunity you can't get through bottles
@@ineedhoez lol womens egos? Such ignorance and arrogance you have.
Help you?😢
This makes me never want kids
Sounds awful
