Will I survive in the NHS?

This might sound a bit odd but bare with me.
I used to work on emergency ambulances and left to start a family. I'm now going back into work and retraining by starting a role in the Radiology department specifically working in the ultrasound department. Obviously ultrasounds are used for various tests but a large part is during pregnancy.
Now I have been to some horrendous jobs on the ambulances and they never bothered me but since having a baby I get teary at anything slightly sad! I thought it was hormones and I would settle back to normal but it's nearly 2 years and I'm just the same.
I'm starting to worry if patients are getting bad news I'm going to fighting the urge to cry!
Anyone else been similar? Is it hormones? Am I likely to survive in a healthcare environment?

You'll be grand, you just get professionally desensitised to stuff.
