This isn’t going to be the best advice, but I let myself just have those moments of crying and being emotional. I looked at my favourite photos of baby during it as well, to encourage myself to keep going & give me some positive feelings! It does get better though ❤️ xxx
Just keep trying to remind yourself that it’s the hormones and it will get better. Day 5 is probably the peak! Hang in there you’ll feel better soon xx
My advice would be to get outside if you can. The first few days are such a rollercoaster, but for me a little bit of fresh air really helped me feel grounded and less overwhelmed by this tiny person
Hello. I don’t have any advice but what i will say is how you feel is completely normal. My baby is 8 weeks old tomorrow and for the first two weeks I was SO sad. I actually thought at one point what have we done. I cried everyday and night. It does pass and I promise you will feel better 💕. Feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to xxx
Just keep telling yourself that it will pass, that it’s just your hormones, you don’t actually feel like that deep down. Go for a walk, clear your mind, have a good cry and it will be alright x
I found talking to other new mums helped me and I made a what’s app group with new mums in with newborn babies and they have helped me massively!! We talk all day and text during the hard night feeds to just keep each other company and motivated. Feel free to message me if you want
Feel the feels. The worst thing you can do is deny how you're feeling and try to cover it up and pretend everything is OK. You're in the middle of the worst part of the hormone drop right now, so try to ride the storm. I found it weirdly helpful reading through posts on reddit of other people who had felt similar - knowing I wasn't alone or weird for feeling that way helped a lot.
Thank you everyone i really appreciate the replies. I will try some of these things. It’s so up and down I just hate it. I want to feel only love and happiness right now :(
That time will come around soon enough, first couple of weeks are the hardest but it does get better, stay strong it will all be fine. Feel free to message me if you like x
My midwife said that day 5 is typically the worst day for every woman postpartum due to hormones shifting. Honestly it does get so much easier I found a massive change after the first two weeks, I hope you feel better soon, sending my love x
