Baby blues or PPD?

[tblcre]

I had my baby on Saturday night and he's wonderful. Everything I could've dreamed and more. But I don't feel happy or overjoyed, I feel really anxious for no reason and like I want to cry. I genuinely want to break up with my partner, every sound he makes sends my blood boiling. Is this the baby blues?

4 days post partum I sat in the bath and cried for no reason for an hour. The joys of hormonal shift. At this stage it's probably too soon to know? It's understandable to be anxious and hormonal, and probably fairly overwhelmed.

When you see the midwives / health visitors And GP etc. Answer their questions honestly, and have a check in with yourself as you go along.

Try and practise some self care - hard with a brand new baby, but not impossible. Accept any help possible. And sleep when and if you can.

Good luck and look after yourself and your little baby x
