Postpartum emotions

It’s not a herbal remedy but best thing I found that helped me was just leaving the house. I had to go outside once every day otherwise I was a mess. Stuck to it and my baby is almost 8months and it’s still what helps me most. Whether it’s a short walk or a day trip or just standing in the garden I always take time to be outside with my daughter and I find the days are so much mentally easier for it

Yes i did with my first. It can be totally normal. Your hormones take a massive dip and its brutal. Listen to the book "the post natal depletion cure". Start woth good nutrition, bone broths, real butter, vege and meats etc, limit sugars and junk as this will make you feel worse. Limit or omit coffee as this will tank your adrenals and make you worse and rob you of nutrients. Get into the sun as much as you can face in the sun no sunscreen (dont get burnt etc but just enough time to see the sun and have it on your skin- this will help your mood and help with vit D drastically). Do you have support? Anyone helping you? Anyone to watch baby while you shower or just take 30mins or something for yourself? I also found getting OFF social media (esp fb and insta and tik tok ) really helpful,lots of fake people touting their magical and usually somewhat false lives that makes us feel even worse when we are vulnerable. Can you go for a walk? Or do some gebtle pp yoga off youtube. Moving your body will help

You could benefit greatly from having some nourishing meals think meat stock, butter, egg yolks. Fresh air, connection with loved ones, daily gratitude/prayer are always helpful for me as well. But most of all, please be patient yourself! It’s not easy being a new mom 

Firstly, huge congratulations on your little one! Honestly, your emotions are going to be like that with having such a huge hormone change. It’s wild but it really does settle and get better. I remember crying every day for the first month, happy tears, sad tears, tired tears and all the rest! I can’t offer any advice on anything to take as I just rode the wave. One thing that did help was being totally honest and vulnerable with people when they asked how I was doing. I felt no shame in saying that it was hard and I felt like my body had failed by baby (had an emergency c section and then failed to breastfeed so ended up pumping) but the amount of support I got from my friends and family for saying so really helped and made me feel like I wasn’t alone in what I was going through!
