Baby Blues ?

I’m feeling it so bad right now. I felt great in the hospital, so exhausted but very supported. The moment the pediatrician said she was putting in orders for discharge I burst into tears. I felt so overwhelmed and scared. I have support at home but I’ve still been very weepy but I’m only 5 days pp so trying to give myself some grace. It’s worse at night and usually is just unexplained tears/sadness, I can’t even pinpoint why. I love my baby so much it hurts. I have felt better on nights I’ve gotten better sleep but that’s hard right now.
Mine came shortly after leaving the hospital. I’m 11 pp it’s a little better now but I still have moments of being emotional. No issues with bonding or loving my baby but definitely sad, anxious or overwhelmed. Hell all the feels at once sometimes. lol
omg YES i was so emotional day 3 that the nurses kept checking on me (also my second baby) but i haven’t felt like that since that day
Yes definitely peaked for me day 4 and already feel better day 7! What helped me was calling in help for sleep deprivation. Had my mil come spend the day at our house, she helped with baby and house chores! Also getting out for short walks outside as a family. I learned quickly that being exhausted only Made it worse so I started prioritizing more sleep when I could, had my husband feed a bottle I pumped instead of me waking to nurse !
