So just wondering if anyone else has felt this way. My baby is 6 weeks old. I want to say first the of course I feel totally blessed with my baby and like my family is now complete but i just feel sad. I know tiredness can have a role to play. Im just so irritable and feel sad and tearful but not sure why.
I just want to be left alone really by everyone apart from my sons and my partner.
I don't want visitors although i'll still see people. I just really don't feel myself and want to be left alone in my little bubble.

I guess I'm just after some advice or maybe reassurance that I'm not just a strange human lol.

It's normal but if it gets worse or continues much longer, see your GP. Don't suffer PND, get yourself sorted so you can enjoy your baby.

It's normal. You're exhausted, overwhelmed, possibly slightly traumatised, on a hormone rollercoaster and still healing physically.
But just because it's normal now do not write it off. You will want to connect with the outside world at some point, and you don't want to isolate yourself in the long run.
Please please please tell your health visitor how you feel. They probably won't do anything at this stage but in the future you don't want to develop PND, it would be best to mention it.
