Baby Blues

[BeHereNowx32]

My baby is only 8 days old, so this is probably all normal. I feel like I have had extreme low mood, crying most of the time since baby has been home.

I doubt all my decisions, and feel guilt that I’m not doing what is best for my baby. I also worry about their future etc, and I just want to enjoy them.

Just wondering other people’s experiences? How long did baby blues last for others? My midwife is aware of my mood, and it will monitored for now.

Yes, it is a very normal phase - hence the fact it has its own nickname
My dc are all grown up now so I can't remember the specifics of how long etc., but it really is a normal thing to feel with a newborn.
