the baby blues?

jumpers

Hi Ladies. I had my baby exactly a week ago today! She is incredible and I love her so much. DH has been extremely helpful around the house and with Emmy.?I've noticed that today I'm feeling very emotional. I am teary eyed about everything- good and bad. I am not even sure why I am crying. Have any of you ladies experienced this? ?If you have does this seem like the normal baby blues due to lack of sleep and hormones or does this seem like something more? Thank you...

It is absolutely normal!  I think I cried every day for the first 3 weeks - it's a combo of hormones and lack of sleep, and it can be absolutely brutal.  I know it's hard to cry for no reason - I felt like such a wreck because I'd be just sitting there and start crying.  It is hard to cry at everything, you feel like such a mess, but know that it is normal and that it will get better.  And if it doesn't get better, don't be afraid to talk to your doctor about it.  Good luck, I'm sorry you are going through this - it is SO hard, but it will get better.

Sounds absolutely normal to me!!  I cried a ton between weeks 1 and 3.  (I had a ton of help from my p's, my sis, and my amazing husband....it was totally a hormonal/lack of sleep thing)

I had these symptoms and they lasted a week or two.  Its very normal!  But if you feel like you need to talk to your doctor, do so.  I did and I am so happy I did!  She made me feel so great and reassured me about everything.  Congrats on your LO!
