Overwhelmed

I did the exact same thing after I had my son. I felt so sad and would randomly burst into tears It lasted for about 2 weeks. I was like happy in the morning but extremely low inside in the afternoons. I reached out to a therapist to help me get through it. Take care of yourself and reach out to providers if you need help. I felt super alone and felt like it was going to last forever. I had severe baby blues. It's like I could feel every bit of sadness there was in the world It was awful. I feel for you but it does get better

I swear I cried non stop for the first two weeks. Your hormones are raging, it’s totally normal. If it becomes a concern or you get really low, make sure you talk to your health visitor or a gp

Completely normal! The postpartum blues are no joke. But honestly, you are amazing and a superwoman for birthing your son, and these emotions will subside I promise!!xx

Be kind to yourself! Your body just went through something huge only two days ago - give yourself time to recover and recuperate! It will take a while to feel back to ‘normal’. I’m 7 months pp now, I started to feel more like myself at around the 4 month mark however I still have days/weeks where my hormones are up and down. They say it can take over a year for a woman’s hormones to regulate after birth. I must’ve cried on and off for weeks - maybe months!! Congratulations on your baby ❤️🫶

Honestly thinking back to those days right after birth gives me the ick. I was so upset, I felt like my body hurt so bad just from uncontrollably crying. I was not prepared for it.

Oh mama my girl is a week old and I had my first day today not crying my eyes out. It was so intense I couldn’t even talk I would just cry and it was such a deep emotional cry. Just feel it, I know it’s scary but it gets easier. We’ve just met the love of our lives ! It’s very emotional and hormones, sleepless nights and constant worry on top of that ! Just remember to love yourself when you can and do it for your bubba. I find it hard to love myself or self care but I know I now need to for her. Makes me more encouraged to do so as I feel it’s for someone. Here if you ever need a cry or ANYTHING! you’re not alone I feel you so much xx
