Baby Blues

Tomorrow will be one week since we welcomed our first son into the world via induction. Admittedly i went into this pregnancy with no knowledge or understanding about babies and had to learn every thing. Every day since giving birth around 4pm I’m so emotional, overwhelmed that this tiny person now relies on me, mourning the loss of my old life. My husband is a great support but I also don’t want to burden him with my mood swings. Anyone else experiencing this or has? How long in general will this feeling last?

No girl lean on your husband. Its Okey. He can take it. He did the couple minutes job and u did the 9months plus. It's okey!!! Your emotions and feelings are so very valid!!!!

I have experienced only on the breastfeeding part but I am trying and will take another training that hopefully will help

It’s normal to feel sad after a big life change even if it’s something you wanted. The hormone drop just makes it 100x worse.

My baby boy is one week today too! The baby blues are rough. Literally anything makes me cry uncontrollably.

I felt that with my first too. Its hard with a firstborn. You feel like the hard times will never end/can't see the light at the end of the tunnel Take all the support you can get! My parents and inlaws used to come over on weekends to watch the baby and clean while I got a few hours of sleep! I really needed that.

Postpartum is hard, especially the first two weeks. I just had my third and each time I struggle with the hormone crash. I get emotional, anxious, etc. The lack of sleep doesn't help, either. It usually does get better, but ask for support whenever you need it. If it continues you can also talk to your Dr.
