Within a few days of childbirth, 4 out of 5 women will experience what is known as 'baby blues'
Baby Blue's is described as a span of time in which a mother can feel fatigued, irritable, tearful, and moody.
In my experience, baby blues made me feel like I was going crazy.
With both of my children, I had about a 5 day span of time where I went through baby blues, starting around 3 days postpartum.
For me, as soon as it started to get dark, I would suddenly start crying uncontrollably. It came with a feeling of existential dread because I knew that the night ahead of me was likely going to be rough. I was extremely irritable, and the smallest thing would trigger me.
The two things that helped me the most were to let myself have the emotions and to have a good support system. Once I figured out why it was going on and what triggered it, it was easier to just let myself cry if I needed to, and my husband was extra helpful at night.
No one really ever talked to me about baby blues. I was well educated on postpartum depression, but it seemed like the baby blues were just brushed under the rug, so I was ill prepared for the experience.
Did you experience baby blues? What was it like for you?
