Baby blues or PND ?

Feelings are valid and normal! Still early days for PND. Perhaps baby blues but definitely hormones trying to balance out. Agree with the above, still mention is to the HV for their advice x
Totally normal I felt the same at the same stage
I was like this at that stage. I’ll be 4 weeks pp tomorrow and I still have moments like this. Midwives and health visitors have said it’s normal at this stage but if I or my husband/family have any further concerns with it becoming worse etc then to contact GP. Hormones can take a while to regulate and they will be all over the place right now so keep an eye on it but also be kind to yourself and make sure you talk to someone about your feelings as getting it out definitely helps x
My worst day pp for me was day 10. I remember it because I was wailing crying at one point. Everyone mentioned "baby blues", but I didn't feel sad I just couldn't stop crying - it was contant and personally, I didn't expect to feel as emotional as I did, it come as a shock. I think it was week 3 that i felt more in control of how i felt. Baby girl is 5 weeks now and I still have emotional moments but I'm feeling alot better. Don't forget everyone's body deals with the homone changes differently xx
You're only 10 days pp. You hormones are all over, you're tired , and vulnerable. Maybe mention it to your health visitor when they come out, and they'll keep an eye on you. I've just done a mental health questionnaire at my 6 week hv visit and been referred for talking therapy x
