Feeling off...?

Question

I brought my beautiful daughter in to the world 4 days ago and getting settled in has been sort of hard for me.. it just feels like I’m not myself these days and at night it gets worse. My husband has been nothing but helpful, but I’m starting to feel lonely.. could it be just the baby blues everyone talks about?

Answer

It can take a couple of weeks for your hormones to level out. It is totally normal to not be joyful constantly. New babies are a lot of work. I am sure you are tired and still healing. Be gentle with yourself. It was super helpful for me to
Get out of the house every day. Even if it was just a short drive with baby or a walk around the block. 
Talk to your doctor if you don’t get feeling better soon or if your blues start to feel scary. 
Hugs to you.

Answer

Very well could be hormones! Labor is extremely hard on your body and hormones! Be sure to talk with your doctor about it! They can be extremely helpful when dealing with postpartum!!!

Answer

Is your milk in yet? Around day 3/4 as my milk came in I was so anxious and tearful your hormones are all over the place at the moment it’s completely normal ☺️

Answer

day/night 4 was probably the most difficult for me emotionally. we were back in the hospital and one of the wonderful nurses held me while I sobbed and told me it was totally normal at this point. stay in contact with your doctor. get help wherever you can. I know it's hard but even an extra 30min of sleep while someone else watches baby can make a huge difference in the ability to cope wth these crazy hormones.
