Just baby blues?

Hello, I had my second baby girl exactly one week ago. I have been feeling super overwhelmed, anxious, angry, sad, anxious, paranoid about older daughter, and really alone, and I am at a loss for things that I liked to do. I remember crying for no reason with my first daughter during the first few weeks, but this time I feel like a lot more emotions are at play. Not to mention there are stressors in my life that mat be triggering these feelings, like not being able to breastfeed like I wanted and DH being laid off the day before I delivered. Family visiting us has also made me feel more on edge. Anyway I am worried this is more severe than the blues, and don't know if I should wait a few more days and see if things feel better or if I should call now? I don't want things to become more severe but I also don't want to call if this is just baby blues.

    It sounds like common baby blues to me. However, you do have a lot of things happening that could trigger more serious emotions and it never hurts to consult your dr if you're worried. The dr will help comfort you if nothing else! You can never be too safe, especially when it comes to your mental and emotional health! Hang in there!
