Postnatal mood
I had my beautiful baby girl 13th October this is my 2nd baby another little girl. Im overjoyed so happy we have our second miracle and there only 11 months apart!
But I have the same feeling I did last time after having baby. I cry at nothing I can’t explain what im crying for but I sob. I miss being pregnant in a way but im so happy she’s here! But mainly I feel so numb to everything? I feel numb my head feels just blank with all emotions but all of them numbed and my head not knowing which one to tackle first. Trying to sort a jigsaw out in my out to see why im upset because I can’t put my finger on what it is. I’ve spoke to my partner he’s amazing he does think it’s something a bit more than baby blues due to it happening a second time but I find it hard to believe as I’m unsure what postnatal depression actually is and consists of.
I’m finding it hard to talk to people and although I am not alone I feel alone? I want everyone to see us but at the same time I was to be numb and close off from them. It’s a weird feeling. Anyone advice what this could possibly be.
I have contacted gp and awaiting a call which took a lot but in the meantime anyone feel the same or bo what this is?

Oh sweetie youre only 3 days pp, my baby blues lasted 2 weeks i was crying at everything i think itll pass but if not some anti depressants might do the trick xx
It might be PPD you can speak with your HV about how you feel and go from there. It happened to me xx
So my little boy was born 8th September last year and 2 months down the line turned out I had post natal depression. It was mild. But I've totally been there. If you want to chat, message me!! Hope your okay. All I can personally say is talk, even if it'd just too a stranger. That's how I ended up on this.
Big hugs❤️ Xx
I’m unsure why I feel
This way it’s just awful x
will health visitor deal with these things? Xx I just have tbink sinking feeling in my heart like I feel so empty but I’m not! X
Id say its 90% definitely hormones xx
a lot seem to think baby blues and hormones but I don’t no if sitting here all day even on the toilet sobbing for no reason is normal like pouring in tears , my baby girls make me so happy bht I find my self hiding crying! X
I was litrally doing the exact same. I was crying randomly, no reason. Litrally sobbing. That's when I spoke to my HV and that's what I said 'this isn't normal' I so common. The amount of people I've spoken to.
If you get no luck from your GP, speak to your Health Visitor X
I will do, I feel
So numb I don’t feel it’s normal for baby blues to make me feel this numb , it’s later I’m afternoon and
Lasts all evening gets worse till I go bed.
It’s like trying to fix a jigsaw in my head with missing pieces it’s a very strange feeling and I feel so so numb and alone I really just don’t like the feeling and don’t no what or who to talk to about it because I have the most beautiful family 2 little
Girls but I still feel this feeling so numb x
Do you have family who you can talk to? I'd definitely speak to your health Visitor in the morning. It sounds like you need professional help. Just remember you are not alone!!
That's litrally how I felt. Personally, talking to someone in person. A stranger, like a health Visitor was what Helped me when I felt like that. I poorer my heart heart for nearly 2 hours straight to my HV and it was the best thing for me personally.
I'm sure your doing am amazing job looking after your little girls! That's good that you have a supportive partner too!
Like I said yoyw ant to talk privately, please send me a message! X
