Just had my baby! Why am I emotional?

Question

I’m crying over everything but I’m not depressed . I’m just having anxiety with a newborn but isn’t almost everyone nervous when they have a newborn and their a FTM? I hope this goes away.

Answer

Extreme hormonal changes after child birth. But if it continues or you have trouble coping, definitely talk to your dr about pp depression  (which can come in the form of anxiety as well)

Answer

If it goes longer than 2 weeks make an appointment with a therapist.

Answer

I had it about 36 hours after birth. I would hold my baby and just bawl. Also was super protective of him and was not crazy about anyone touching him but me. The nurses assured me it was normal! But if it lasts longer than a week or two, make sure to give your doc a call! it can morph it ppd quickly if you don't watch it.

Answer

I was like that the first few days after my first son was born. Thinking about him getting bigger made me cry, I even cried the first time I had to give him a bath by myself. Hormones combined with lack of sleep can make u feel crazy.

Answer

Yes, soooo many hormone changes happening right now. I was a weepy mess for a while after my daughter was born!
