Baby Blues

[Lilllian]

Just thought I would post a little note about 'Baby Blues' as it's something I found really strange to imagine happening to me when I was told about it in anti-natal classes. It happens to most mums within a few days after giving birth and it's not a nice feeling. it didn't last long for me - a day or just a few hours I seem to remember, but I did the classic, bursting into tears and not really knowing why! I remember visiting family at a BBQ when my baby was about 6 days old and as they sleep most of the time, everyone just carried on as normal as though she wasn't there (after the initial holding and gooing at her) and I just wanted to go home as it upset me - you feel like everyone should stop what they are doing and totally focus on your child- it's a weird feeling! I got in the car and burst into tears! It's such an emotional roller-coaster (pregnancy and birth etc) that it has to come out at some point, I guess?

Just wanted to share this as it happens to most mums, but I wasn't really expecting it to happen to me.
