Post partum blues ?

Im only 6 days post csect delivery but i already feel all kinds of emotion. Im not sure if this called post partum blues or im just adapting to new environment and everything. Everyday i would cry or feel like crying, sometimes for no valid reason. I just feel like crying. And when my newborn cry, i would feel like crying too. At the same time, nothing prepared me of how much i will miss being with my husband, just the two of us, doing whatever we want, watching netflix together, cuddling together, etc but now everything is all about baby. I miss being me. I miss being by myself and do whatever i want. I feel bad for saying this but sometimes i just wished i would’ve waited a little longer to conceive after marriage. Now there’s no turning back and just have to slowly adapt to new everything. Is it normal to cry everyday post delivery, esp for first time mum.

hi! it sounded like you have baby blues. yes it is normal, especially for first time moms. if its only for 2 weeks, yes baby blues. but if its on going for more than 2 weeks, pls seek help from the doctor. as it known to postpartum depression. i've been feeling the same way as you for 2 weeks and then its keep going. my baby had her 2 months old vaccine and the nurse asked me how i'm doing and i was teary and said not great. i've been having a hard time to enjoy the things i used to do. so the nurse asked me to do edps test and my score were quite high. they referred me to kkh and i am waiting for the appt. pls get it check(if its more than 2 weeks) and dont be like me, suffered in silence! sending alot of love to you.
