Anyone else cry for no reason?

Hi there, this is my first post to this board. My son is just over a week old & I had him via an emergency c-section. I was in the hospital for 4 days and the only time I cried when I was there was when he was born. I still feel extremely happy to have him and have tons of support from DH and family during my recovery from my c section. The only slight issue I have had is MIL being a bit pushy about trying to come over every day but other than that things are going great. However, the past 3 days I have found myself breaking into tears over nothing. I will just be sitting on the couch and look at LO sleeping and start crying. Sometimes I will think about how he will grow up and all the things I will get to experience with him. Sometimes I'm just amazed that DH and I made him. And sometimes I have no thoughts at all that accompany the tears yet I can't stop crying. Has anybody else experienced this?

Yes! I know DH probably thinks I am crazy. It is just so emotional sometimes. It is an amazing thing!

Very normal. It's hormone imbalance and its gonna take a bit for your hormones to come back to normal.

Yes, yes, yes. I'm posting via mobile or I'd link it but on the March 14 BMB we just had a discussion about baby blues and crying all the time. It really made me feel better about how I've been feeling. Check it out.

@KariB509‌ thanks I just checked it out. Definitely helps to know I'm not alone.

Like everyone else said it's the hormones. It's perfectly normal and it does get better.

Oh yes... I thought I was insane to begin with. My son is 12 days old now and it's tapering off a bit but some days, I just want to cry at everything! You'll get through it :-)
