Baby blues?

5 days postpartum and I’ve been feeling great since giving birth. But tonight I’ve had this overwhelming sense of worry/dread. With no logically reason behind it and I’m not even sure what I’m worried about. Could this be the start of baby blues?

It’s very normal to experience a surge in hormones at day 5/6 and can feel very overwhelming and very emotional. It’s one of the biggest hormones shifts you’ll ever experience. It is brutal. However talk to your midwife, hv or gp if you are concerned x

The 5 day wobble! It’s a very real thing! Hormones are going through so much change and the adrenaline is starting to wear off. It’ll pass but make sure you don’t keep it inside, express it however you need to and mention to your midwife 🫶

Yeah I agree with the girls above, it'll be the surge in hormones around that time. If it continues I'd say reach out for help, but I'd hope it'll settle down for you x

I’ve had the hugest wobble since day 5 (currently day 7) it’s normal, take every hour as it comes!

Thanks girls! The midwife did mention a surge in hormones but I just didn’t expect it to be so sudden and so late in the day, was hoping I’d avoided it tbh x

I'm 5 days postpartum today as well and have experienced the same. Was really happy then today stuff shifted and I feel really low now.

It’s so scary because it really does just hit you, I felt so smug thinking I’d escaped it, then I went for a nap and woke up violently sobbing??? I was like whattt is going on😯 then it’s just been constant start stop with the tears since!
