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.

I am 1.5 months pp and yes I felt that way during the first and 2nd week pp. I was just crying and crying and felt so helpless. I was also very depressed with my body especially when I’ve gained so much weight. I couldn’t fit into any of my clothes, boobs were dripping milk, couldn’t go out, couldn’t even have a good meal outside, missed out on all the family and friends gathering. took me awhile to get over it and adapt. So don’t be too hard on yourself, it’s perfectly normal to feel this way. All the best mummy!
