Baby blues

[lucy2204]

How long did your baby blues last? 🤔I'm 11 days in and have days we're there terrible and then days when I'm completely fine -.- (mine started day 5 so only been up and down for a couple days)

I'm day 13 and only yesterday did I feel much more "myself", before that I was so up and down and crying at everything and nothing...I hope you're feeling better soon it's such an overwhelming time!

Hey @lucy2204

I had a really had couple of low days around 15/16 days post partum. They were really hard and had me very worried but I feel much more like myself at current (19 days).

@Lemonysherbet @Lindor2828 hey girls thanks for replying feel like I'm going crazy never had this with my other 2 (that I remember) so this is all new to me 🙄either of you had any mini panic or anxiety attacks through your baby blues so far? I've had 2 yesterday but midwife resured me that it's all down to Hormoans I've just never heard of anyone having them "/ (3 sisters and not 1 had them 13 kids between them)... Feel like I'm going worry myself into a problem -.-

@lucy2204 if it doesn't feel right to you push for more help but yes I've been getting quite anxious. I just dropped a thank you present in to the ward and nearly had a panic attack!

Midwife and health visitor are saying I have to wait 6 weeks postpartum as the body should be back to normal ish Hormoan wise and then I have to speak to the doctor at the 6 week check I'm not sure its anything to worry about as of yet as it's only happened a couple of times just not a nice feeling at all tbh -.- glad I'm not the only one feeling anxious tbh it's crazy this stage as your emotions are all over the place you don't know wether your coming or going 😂like today I'm great just have after pains but god knows how il be tomorrow 😂travelling on my own for the first time with baby (have to go public transport as we don't drive so I'm panicky about people with covid being near us -.- or people attempting to touch baby 🙄

@Lemonysherbet wouldn't let me tag you on first post

@lucy2204 I've found people are pretty good at staying away if it helps. Also if it's a rainy day put the rain cover on the pram, extra protection from germs :)

@Lemonysherbet @Lindor2828 how are you both now? Any more up and down days mine are pretty on off I just get a worrying feeling more than anything now

@lucy2204 much better at the mo thanks. I do feel a bit on edge, like I'm missing something but I don't know what.

It's such an odd time, exhausting physically and mentally!

@lucy2204atm just can't put my finger on it... @Lemonysherbet

Don't know what happened there with that message 😂 but I was saying I feel the same it's like something is wrong but just can't put my finger on it xx @Lemonysherbet

@lucy2204 maybe its because we've had such a big change, maybe we're mourning our old lives. I mean I love my baby and I wouldn't change him for the world but he's had such a big impact on my day to day life.

I went for a walk today and it made a big difference on how I feel and it was only 10 minutes round the block

@Lemonysherbet yeah, I have 3 children so I think it's just because of what is going on in the world etc more than the change even tho it is a big change going from 2 to 3 all under 4 🙈I never got baby blues with the other 2 and if I didn't they must of passed quickly as don't remember them 🙈i don't think it helps with the big drop in Hormoans we've had, I haven't been out just for a walk in a couple days I might try that tomorrow with the kids xx

@lucy2204 wow 3, you must be exhausted!

I'm going to try walk again tomorrow, it's so good for the soul :)

I think that's what's so hard with the baby blues, it's unpredictable and can catch you off guard when you're not prepared to fight them off.

@Lemonysherbet sure is, 🙈they're good babies tho they all sleep through the night etc it's just try to get out of the stage I'm at -.-& just that they literally come out of know were 😂horrible things hoping they'll disappear soon tbh everything I've read said they go with a couple days but my midwife/health visitor said they can linger around for a couple weeks... X

@lucy2204 I think that's what confused me. I didn't realise how long these feelings hung around for. How are you doing today?

I'm feeling indifferent today, like I'm okay just feel kinda weird 😂🙈still feeling little anxious today how are you feeling? 🤗 @Lemonysherbet

@lucy2204 I feel like that too! I did go to the supermarket today for the first time in months, that made me feel mega anxious but also like a proper adult 🤣

Yeah I feel like that whenever I step out the house 🤔not to sure why 🤷‍♀️I went to the shops today with dd2 wasn't to bad, very packed tho which made me panicky a bit, just want all this nervousness gone tbh -.-

@Lemonysherbet don't know why it didn't tag u

Hey @Lemonysherbet how are you today🤗 xx

Exhausted but happy @lucy2204

I spent a day with friends in the garden and it did the world of good 😊

How are you feeling?

I'm exhausted today to its way to hot and baby had a rough night 😂I managed to go to town today without having a panic attack about it so that's a plus I guess defo ready for bed now 1 kid down 2 to go! 🙏

It's great you've managed to get out, 🤗 @Lemonysherbet didn't let me tag anyone in the first reply x

@lucy2204 that's really good! Small goals 😁 it really is too hot. It's just as warm here tomorrow too so we're going to spend the day hibernating in the lounge which is semi cool!
