The baby blues three months after giving birth

Newborn
Arrival of the baby

Between 70 and 80 percent of mothers experience a period of depression called the baby blues, which always occur soon after giving birth.

  • The baby blues generally appear within three to ten days after the birth of the baby.
  • Its main causes are related to the physical and psychological changes caused by the arrival of the baby.
  • When the discomfort lasts for more than two weeks in a row, it can be considered postpartum depression.
  • If you are going through this complicated phase, don't hesitate to talk about it and make an appointment with a doctor who will listen to you.

Any moms after giving birth experience PPD or baby blues? I feel like I will experience one or the other just based on how emotional i've felt during this pregnancy and everything i've been going through.

It's been 3 long years and I have yet to go out lol well if you mean without the kids. I do think sometimes we need that refresher, the sun or just other adults. I also think it's fun to also take the kids for some refreshers like for walks etc if you need to get out alone or with the children at any time frame do it I've had my newborn for walks after a week! Really clears the head. ✨💖🙏

You may not want to hear this, but my son is 8 months old and I STILL have postpartum depression symptoms. I say that to say that everyone is different. Yours could be over by next week. Or it may take awhile. It just depends on a lot of factors. Your home situation is a BIG contributor of how you’re feeling. Hang in there! It does get better. If you need to talk feel free to reach out!

It depends but proper diet and going for walks outside helps tremendously.
