Is it normal to feel low and almost suicidal after a baby? My beautiful girl is almost 5 weeks she is so perfect. But I am struggling so badly and don't know where to turn anymore.

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling! Your hormones do drop at a dramatic rate after giving birth and baby blues are very common. Its such a big change and a responsibility having this tiny beautiful life in your world but can also be very overwelming. However, maybe you should discuss your feelings with your dr or health visitor as you could be suffering with PTS which a lot of women do and they can help you. Also do you have a support network that can help you? I would highly recommend talking to a professional especially if you feel sucidial. Do you have a partner, have you spoke to them as well?
