Please tell me it’s normal to be so weepy on day 3???!! I don’t even really know why I’m crying. Just a huge sense of overwhelm, tiredness, anxiety for the upcoming night! Needing some reassurance please x

It's absolutely normal, sweetheart. Your body is going through a lot and hormones can make things crazy.

Its normal, and my hv said its usual to happen for at least the first 2 weeks of pp 🫂 x

I still cry lol not as often now but I’ve been so emotional. I had my 6 weeks pp appt and my OB said that the 2 weeks pp are the most difficult (hormones, adapting, etc). So yeah, unless this is getting in the way of you doing anything else and/or you are having thoughts that relates to harming yourself or the baby, that is normal and does get better. ❤️

It is definitely normal!! I was absolutely terrible to the point everyone was worried about me. Even my midwife suggested that i may need to see GP etc. after about a week it got better but the anxiety in the afternoons continued for maybe another week. Im just over 3 weeks pp now and still have my weepy moments - think this is mostly due to lack of sleep and the huge change that has happened. I can barely put the baby down during the day and feel as though I practically stuck with the baby all day. I love him but it’s overwhelming. Use all the support you can get and if anyone offers any kind of help please take it! Xx

It’s totally normal, especially the first couple weeks. Those hit hardest from what I’ve gathered 💕 it gets easier and you start understanding yours and baby’s schedules better and getting in the swing of things. It takes time and there’s a lot of uphills to climb. But trust that you’ve got this girl! I’m sure you’re doing great as a momma already 💕☺️ keep up the good work, don’t be too hard on yourself through this, and REMEMBER TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF THROUGH IT! I still struggle immensely with this myself.
Thanks everyone - in my head I know it’s hormones and the huge changes in my body but still sucks at the time!!
