Baby Blues

I gave birth 17 days ago and I think I have the baby blues. I should feel over the moon but I feel incredibly down. I've barely left the house, barely even got dressed, I look a state and I'm exhausted. I'm worried my partner will leave me as I just look a state. On top of it all, I feel super guilty about feeling this way as I know I am lucky to have been blessed with a baby.

Are these feelings normal?

I am sorry you are feeling like this. It is normal to feel overwhelmed and very tired after the birth of s baby. Is there anyone who can help out? Having said that, if you are feeling that you can’t cope then speak to health visitor who should be able to point you in the direction of parent and baby groups or post natal groups. If that doesn’t help or sound like what would help you, then speak to your doctor who will definitely help you.
