idk why but i was quite emotional yesterday, i kind of cried throughout the day.. but not in a bad way. i was ok during my hospital stay up until the morning yesterday when i was holding my baby and idk but i couldnt stop the tears, but they were of joy, i guess i was overwhelmed because the shock didn`t hit me `til that point ha, i just didn`t realize i could love somebody so much in a short amount of time. i told my cousin about it nd she says i shouldn`t cry after having birth b/c thats how post partum is developed but i`m not depressed... any thoughts on this?

Just be greatful there not tears of saddness and cry it out. I did with mine and talked with people about it, who thought I was crazy until they had kids. Its hormonal and it will stop soon. Best wishes and enjoy your bundle!!

I wouldn't worry too much, dont hold back on how your feeling, if you want to cry, then cry. If you want to run in your garden in PJs laughing then do it lol. Most women who develop depression can be because they are supressing their feelings....Enjoy your baby xxxx

mandeevicious - 1216 days ago lol would it really be considered blues? there's no sadness/depression at all.

kenty - 1216 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) sounds like you have baby blues, you can get this just after birth, it's natural and i think it's caused by the hormone changes...i really wouldn't worry. i know one lady that burst into tears in mothercare because they didn't have the size trousers she wanted to buy for her baby!
