Baby Blues
Show your support
I have experienced only on the breastfeeding part but I am trying and will take another training that hopefully will help
It’s normal to feel sad after a big life change even if it’s something you wanted. The hormone drop just makes it 100x worse.
My baby boy is one week today too! The baby blues are rough. Literally anything makes me cry uncontrollably.
I felt that with my first too. Its hard with a firstborn. You feel like the hard times will never end/can't see the light at the end of the tunnel Take all the support you can get! My parents and inlaws used to come over on weekends to watch the baby and clean while I got a few hours of sleep! I really needed that.
Postpartum is hard, especially the first two weeks. I just had my third and each time I struggle with the hormone crash. I get emotional, anxious, etc. The lack of sleep doesn't help, either. It usually does get better, but ask for support whenever you need it. If it continues you can also talk to your Dr.
I’m in week two and starting to feel a bit lighter. Each day you will feel better, more confident and your hormones will begin to level out. Lean on your husband, family and friends. Share openly about your feelings and know that this is completely normal. Get people to watch baby while you get some sleep that helped me immensely
I agree, the first two weeks were the worst for me. I cried more than the baby during this time and my husband did everything he could to be supportive, but he was at a loss as to how to help me. I had horrible postpartum anxiety and did not sleep for days. Everyone is different, but I called my OBGYN and they put me on a low dose of sertraline. It helped me immensely. Hang in there! It does get better, I promise.
Experiencing this too! I miss my freedom and spontaneity 🥲
No girl lean on your husband. Its Okey. He can take it. He did the couple minutes job and u did the 9months plus. It's okey!!! Your emotions and feelings are so very valid!!!!
