Hello,
I gave birth to a boy on the 31st of July (Ezra, 9.03 oz's of adoreableness). The actual labour started late on the 29th and it was a ventouse assisted delivery in the end due to a change in the foetal Heart rate.
That's not the point, sorry my mind keeps wandering.
What I wanted to ask is if anyone had delayed 'baby blues'?
I was expecting to be weepy and miserable a few days after the birth, but it never happened and I thought I'd gotten away with it. But today I woke up, and I swear to God I feel like my whole world has ended. I am so unbelievably sad, I've never felt like this. I'm actually crying as I type.
All I've been able to do today is change his nappies, feed and burp him - and that's it. I haven't been able to change myself, or feed myself - I'm still in yesterdays socks (sorry TMI).
I just wanted to know is this temporary, I really hope it is temporary and tomorrow I'll wake up and cringe at how emotional I am.
Other Half is away atm, with his mother who is poorly. I've no other problems, just this emptiness and overwhelming sadness.
Sorry my first post has been so depressing.
