Baby blues?
Im first time mum and gave birth to my beautiful baby last week. Since being at home I’ve been really struggling with sadness. I’m finding the emotions so overwhelming I don’t know how to deal with them. My husband is struggling to understand also which makes it harder and I feel very alone. Can anyone relate or give me any advice on how long this may last? I feel rock bottom right now 😞

Baby blues are so hard. You’re going through so many emotions, your hormones are all over the place, you’re sleep deprived, you’re dealing with the biggest life change ever. It is intense. Could you speak to your midwife or health visitor? There’s lots of support on the NHS for maternal mental health. These feelings are really common - you’re definitely not alone 💗💗
Talk talk talk. There are thousands feeling the same. So don't hold back to open up to a family member or a friend 🫶🏽🫶🏽
I really struggled with this with my first baby. After a few weeks it got a lot better so hang in there and wait for the hormones to subside and talk to your partner and family about how you’re feeling. Hang in there x
