Super emotional
Show your support
My baby was born a day after yours and I’ve been the same !! Midwife said it’s totally normal and can take a while for the hormones to settle !!!
Thank you both it’s such a rollercoaster isn’t it! Glad it’s not just me 🙈x
Another thing is if you feel it is related to your birth, you can book in time to speak to the Birth After Thoughts (called different things in different areas) service where you discuss your birth with a midwife. I had a great birth, but an awful aftermath, and I used the service twice - once about 4 months after, and another during this pregnancy x
@Gemma that’s good to know thank you! I’m not really sure what is triggering me at the moment, just feel as though everything has gone so quickly in such a short space of time. It’s really overwhelming I just need time to slow down 😢 my partner is back in work now and he is out the house 9.30am and returns home 10.30pm so it’s long days without him here. I don’t think that’s helping me x
I cried most days for a good month, and then pretty regularly until he was about 6 months! I think its normal to be more emotional as a mother in general, but definitely speak with your midwife or GP if you feel there is a further problem. Might also be worth noting down when and why so you can see if there is a particular time or reason it is happening. With my first I used to get very upset, almost anxious around 6pm ish and I think it was bc I had to inject myself with blood thinners, and then there was the worry of how the night was going to go in terms of how much sleep I'd get! It made it feel better once I knew why it was happening xx
