Postpartum Blues:
What is it?
Postpartum blues, also known as “baby blues,” refer to a temporary and common emotional state that many mothers experience within the first few weeks after giving birth. It typically appears abruptly –– around the third or fourth day following birth. New mothers commonly experience mood swings, sadness, tearfulness, irritability, and feelings of anxiety. These feelings are often believed to be due to sleep deprivation, physical discomfort, and the overwhelming responsibilities of caring for a newborn, but the truth is there’s often a different culprit: hormones.
While it’s normal to experience baby blues after birth, if these feelings linger after two weeks –– it could be something else. Postpartum depression is a more severe, longer-lasting version of baby blues and requires medical help. If left untreated, postpartum depression can last several months or longer.
