Baby blues?
Show your support
It's completely normal. You are not alone. I cried everyday for the first 4 days. Everything's overwhelming, your recovering from massive trauma, your hormones are raging. I was worse when my milk came in. I got out of the shower and the cold air hit my nipples and felt like razor blades and I just stood there naked cupping my boobs sobbing my little heart out 🤣 give yourself credit for what your body and mind has been through. Thankfully it didn't last long 😍😍
I cried from day 6 for at least 10 days. Was questioning if needed the GP but it did stop.
Has your milk come in? Sometimes it can be related due to the shift in hormones - I know I’ve cried several times today, ranking from because I’ve not seen my dog in a week through to baby’s heel prick and the fact that means waiting for medical reports. Essentially I think it’s totally normal this early on but if you do feel like it would be useful, talking therapies might be worth looking into via the NHS 💕
It's very normal to feel like this, the hormone shift is crazy after having a baby! Once your milk comes in you should feel better, my baby is a week old today and Friday (day 5) I was sobbing all day and felt so anxious. Today is the first day I haven't cried (yay!) and I remember I was the same with my last baby. But deffo contact your GP if you're worried xx
The hormone shift after having a baby is unreal, I’ve never felt anything like it. It’s so intense🥲🥲I cried for a week straight then one day I thought oh, it’s not so bad and I was okay. The trick is to know when it’s more than baby blues, give yourself time xx
Thank you everyone, seems like it’s quite a normal stage of pp life which is reassuring. I have a midwife appointment today so I’ll mention it too xx
Sounds like it, mine scared me so much I went to the drs and got put on tablets because I was so overwhelmed, I felt the exact same you are not alone. If you feel it’s more than baby blues after a few days speak to the dr, midwife or HV. You’re not alone, I’m still feeling it now and I’m 15 days post partum and 4 days on anti depressants. It will get better. Today is the first day I’ve felt more myself xx
