Baby blues

I’m the same, my baby boy is 12 days today and I can’t stop crying. I feel fine and then I just cry.

Trust me I have my days as well. Gave birth 2 weeks ago, and I was perfectly fine. In the last few days iv noticed my mood changed. The thing is I'm not depressed or anything just a fluctuation with highs and lows. Hope you get through it hun xx

My boy is 11 days and I'm the same, especially when I'm tired or feel anxious about something. Hope you have someone to talk to, my husband can spot when the tears are going to come even before me and he always makes me stop what I'm doing to have a talk and let it all out. Things will get better ❤️

Same here , my baby is 2weeks old today and most of the time I’m fine and then I’ll just cry and I can’t even explain to my partner what I’m crying for I think it’s very normal you have been through a lot and it’s a huge hormone shift , if you are worried reach out to someone even your midwife team xx

Don't worry I'm a massive sop right now too. So much mum guilt with my oldest too 😭 Keep crying out of nowhere and almost a month gone here now 😆

I have the same, I try to tell myself that it's part of it, and that crying is not a bad habit! your baby does the same, everything is new for us. It's a way of communicating and understanding each other, I cry with baby in my arm and see it as a part of woman/motherhood. What helps me is put on a really nice calming song that means a lot to me. For example, Mother's love by The Vernon Spring

My little girl is 2 weeks tomorrow and my emotions have been here there and everywhere… I’m feeling slightly more myself today but I’m really tired. Everyday is another day to things getting easier, it’s what I tell myself

He’s 16 days old n feel like im on rollercoaster 🎢 Im tearful 😢, angry, completely calm, getting creative in kitchen n cooking whole meals from scratch? Then back to being tearful

I’m like a yo-yo. Our little one is 3 weeks tomorrow and even though I adore him I can’t help but cry when he cries and feel guilty over it. My health visitor said that when I start to feel like this to give him some cuddles and smell the top of his head. Apparently as much as mums release pheromones, so do the little ones 🩵 hoping it gets easier over the next few weeks xx

This is totally normal! I'm sure it will subside soon. That first week was an absolute wild rollercoaster ride. Day 19 now & I still randomly burst into tears sometimes but nothing like that first week or so. We've been through so much & have so many hormones flying around, it's probably more unusual to *not* be emotional! Also you don't need to feel happy all the time. That's not realistic even without a newborn :)
