1 month postpartum feel like crying

Yes I can tell you sleep deprivation can cause this, and postpartum depression can be in the mix too but we get told our hormones can go up and down for 6 weeks or maybe more!

I’m 7 weeks pp and still get this. I start to feel more tired and overwhelmed late afternoon and can just cry over anything or nothing at all

Sleep deprivation accumulating over time, and the huge hormonal shift, and the adrenaline has well and truly worn off now. So yes you definitely are normal for feeling this way!! Sometimes a good cry helps x

Its completely normal it will get better, if it doesn't speak to your midwife team as they can refer you for postnatal support x

Normal to be up and down, it’s a wild time and so much change to navigate. Do you feel you have valid support and are you getting a reasonable chunk of sleep every night (4 hours uninterrupted)?

It also could be your period returning? I just had an almighty crash out earlier which ended with me in tears, just been to the loo and it’s my period 👋🏻 yay 🥳🙃
