Still very emotional 1 year post partum

[FullLaundryBasket]

Hi

I'm coming up for 1 year post partum. Before the pregnancy I was never a gushy emotional person, and was quite reserved. I expected to be more emotional when pregnant and soon after the birth. However, a year on I'm still the same. Any TV show/movies/stories of babies or children dying or being hurt just has me in floods of tears. There is an Ask Me Anything at the moment about a woman who had a stillbirth and I was in floods of tears reading it and had to stop. I imagine the pain that she must have felt and just can't stop crying at the thought of what the parents went through.

Also when I see newborns in public I coo over them. Before i May have thought to myself privately 'oh that's a cute baby', but now i go over (if the parents seem open and if the baby is awake and not trying to sleep/eat etc) and actually tell them their baby is beautiful. I'd never have done that in a million years before.

Is this normal behaviour? Will my emotions go back to what they used to be like? Or is this a permanent change?!!
