Overly emotional

Eris-Alexis · January 2012

For the past couple of days I feel like I have been on the verge of tears. I don't feel sad, but something in pop into my head and I will feel like crying. Yesterday it was because my mom went home and it was our first night on our own. The day before that it was because I love C so much. I'm hoping this is just normal hormone adjustment stuff combined with healing from surgery, being in pain and being tired.

Does this sound normal or should I be concerned? Did anyone else go through this as well? TIA

It definitely sounds totally normal. If it lasts longer than the first few weeks than you may want to talk to a doctor about it but for now it is perfectly normal.

Absolutely what I experienced. I was in tears for silly reasons and no reason at all the first few weeks after my csection. I think you are still awash in hormones. ((Hugs)) you are not alone.

All normal. I cried a lot for the first 2wks! Lots or hormonal changing going on.

Agree with PP's. Took a little over a month for my hormones to adjust. After that I was just batsh*t from lack of sleep.

Thank you everyone! I figured it was probably normal, but I figured it was best to ask someone who's been there recently.

I cried so much at first -- it's completely normal. I cried about anything and everything -- because I loved LO so much, how special he was (is), that my mom's dinner was so delicious and I'd miss my parents when they went home. It's your hormones going out of whack... you'll level out soon.

It sounds like my normal.

I've been crying for four weeks - but I'm not really worried that I have a problem. I cry a lot from happiness. I cry because I am completely exhausted. I cry because I'm up for four hours in a row in the middle of the night walking a screaming baby. I cry because my milk letdown is so intense. I cry because baby is gassy. I cry when I see DH cuddling with DS.

I think it's just hormones and exhaustiion. I cry a lot! DH has taken to asking me, "Happy, sad or worried?" when he catches me crying.

Um yes that is very normal, I had the baby blues for a month or so, maybe even two. For my first PP OBGyn visit I had to have DH drive me because I was such a mess Embarrassed

Give yourself at least a month or so before you start evaluating whats normal and what may not be, your hormones are crazy right now (and I swear it will get better

I'm totally going through that now also Eris- I cry for anything. So happy to hear that I'm not the only one going through this.

I have been doing this too. I cried yesterday because I couldn't drive to my MIL's to get my ice... so I think it is normal..

Totally normal the first few weeks.

ashhope84 · January 2012

Sounds normal to me too. I cried at the drop of a hat the first few weeks, I also noticed I was more emotional in the evenings. Crazy hormones!

Izabella22 · January 2012

Yup... and it ranges anywhere from cry to uncontrollable sobbing. It can be because I hung up the phone w/ my mom or b/c DS is crying or just for no good reason at all. Its frustrating because I'm not a crier to begin with so then I get mad at myself for crying but yeah its the hormones.

I was like that for a very long time. I still tear up when something moves me, and pretty much anything baby related tugs at the heart strings these days.
