OK I give in

I feel vacant. My eyes just want to cry. I am in the middle of my first period since giving birth and I feel tired all of the time. I have anaemia and my OH does everything he could possibly do. But I still want to blubb, whats going on with me? Babe is two months old now. But I feel like I am walking around in a surreal world. I haven't blubbed yet by the way.

you are in hormonal chaos and knackered. You have really recently given birth. No wonder you feel tired all the time! You have every right to cry if you want to.

Have a really good cry, you have earned it.

but I dont know why. I have everything that I could possibly need as far as support is concerned and yet I am walking round like a zombie. Its only been for the last couple of days. I have been fine for at least 8 weeks.

also my period is disgustingly huge, I am wearing one pad on another and changing frequently. Is this right, is this how they are going to be for the time being.

That doesn't sound abnormal to me if you have just given birth.

I can't speak from experience directly, as I didn't get the curse until 11 months after giving birth (I was bfing). But I do remember nightmarish mood swings associated with the return of the first period.

If I were you I would tell anyone who can support you right now that you really need help. Get them in to cook and make you tea. Go to bed, deal only with your baby's immediate needs and your own, that is hard enough at this stage and you have every right in the world to feel sh*te.
