Feeling down and lost

I'm 1 week postpartum and I feel so ugly. I didn't want to take any pictures with husband for baby photoshoot because I look like I can't look at myself. I just feel empty, tired, drained and absolutely disgusting.

Does this get any better or worse?

Well done for realising and writing it down. Now you need to contact your HV or GP.
It sounds like more than just the baby blues.

Congratulations on your new LO @anniz91 and I'm sorry that you are feeling so down.

Did you manage to speak to your MW or GP about how you're feeling yet?
