How 'normal' is baby blues affected post partum mom and in what level a mom needs expert help?

trust me mommy, it is very very normal, even though a lot of women don't really talk about it. i felt some of it with my first one, but the second delivery was really bad and i had a huge case of the blues. i managed to get out of it by listening to a lot of music and doing a lot of reading. also, i would go for long walks and clear out my head. you should definitely get help if you feel you are unable to focus clearly on things, or if you have even once had thoughts about hurting your baby or yourself. asking for help is fine, so do not hesitate to visit a professional.
