The first few weeks after birth I was hormonal but following that I've felt surprisingly very good. I didn't feel like an absolute zombie as I had expected I would do, obviously tired, but nothing compared to 3rd trimester level of tiredness. I felt mentally very level and positive.
Then bam, a few weeks ago at pretty much to the day 3 months postpartum, I suddenly felt super hormonal, to the bone type knackered, irritable, emotional and the mere existence of my partner winds me up 😂 now on my 4th period since birth which has really hit me too. My appetite is insatiable and I'm just longing for a night where I can sleep all the way through. My baby wakes up twice during the night, settles very quickly afterwards and is generally a happy, chilled baby, but I just feel so exhausted mentally all of a sudden.
I know it can take months and months for hormones to level out but I find it so interesting that I felt good and pretty 'normal' for so long, then for some reason the 3 month mark brought about a huge shift. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, when did you feel yourself coming out of the fog a bit again?
