Baby blues
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

The first few weeks after giving birth can leave you feeling emotional.
You may be feeling happy one minute and then find yourself bursting into tears the next minute for no apparent reason. This is completely normal.
· Feeling over emotional
· Totally irrational
· Irritable
· Anxious
· Depressed
These feelings are all completely normal, your hormones will be going through lots of changes after giving birth but usually settle down after a few days.
This is called the baby blues.
You should start to feel better and find it easier to cope after a few days, most mums all feel completely stressed and exhausted at times but if it is affecting you leading a normal life then it could be a sign that you have post natal depression.
