Baby blues here too, started around day 3. Dh ate a biscuit too loud and I cried lol. 2 nights ago I was sobbing, jake was refusing to latch again and screaming his head off, I was sobbing to dh that I was a totally inadequate mother, I couldn't feed him or read his signs of what was wrong. I'm feeling slowly better now, still weepy at things, my work colleagues sent my ds a big brother card in the post for him today, and I was off again!
Feeding is getting better though, he had a huge feed 2 days ago and I had to express as we were going out, and all the pressure in my boobs has gone and he is latching on so much easier.
Brier, when Jake has his not latching tantrum, the only way I can usually settle him is to wrap him tightly in a blanket and shush him. Sometimes a dummy helps but he's usually too mad and spits it straight out. Dh raised the formula option when I was stressed out but I refused, as I'm determined to make bf work this time. Hang in there, it will hopefully start to get a little easier in the next few days.
I had a hell of a scare this morning. Fed jake at 4am, then got out of bed to wind him, and noticed my nightie felt wet, and when I looked, I was covered in blood. My section scar was bleeding everywhere, and had to go to hospital. All is ok though, seems I had a pocket of blood behind the wound was, but then stopped.
