baby blues
Show your support
Although actually mothers for mothers might just be Bristol! Sorry x
I had baby blues this time round. it would get to the evening and I would spontaneously burst into tears. I think it lasted 4 or 5 days. Your hormones are still being annoying. I would advise you to reach out to your midwife for some support. Keep telling yourself that it will get better. It takes time to adjust to having a newborn. Try and not be too hard on yourself. x
Big big hugs. Your hormones will be all over the place at the moment and motherhood is overwhelming - particularly in the beginning. As mentioned above, do reach out to your GP or midwife. Otherwise, talking therapy can be helpful. I went privately last time as I had a traumatic birth with my firstborn a few years ago, and was crying all the time. Big hugs
I felt this on our first night back home after a week long stay at the hospital which made me feel set back. You are not alone - please do reach out to your community midwife. We are only day 9 and things fluctuate by the hour - it will get better and we all wanted these little babies so much. It’s not an easy task to grow a human but you already did that for 9 months in. You got this mama 🤍🤍
I'm sorry to hear you are struggling this way. I would strongly encourage you to reach out to your midwife or doctor for some help. Alternatively, there is a group called mothers for mothers on Instagram who support mums through the postnatal period and can provide you with information of support groups near you etc! It takes a lot to reach out and ask for help, so well done for saying you are struggling, there is no shame in that, only strength! I hope things feel better for you soon x
