Baby Blues?
FTM: Brought our bundle of joy home two days ago. He was born 5 days ago at 37 weeks due to gestational hypertension.
Both of us are recovering and healthy. Literally the past 5 days have been the most beautiful thing I think I’ve ever experienced.
My partner is doing amazing, always here if I need something. We are soaking this time in as a family of 3. He took a week off work.
Problem is, I can’t stop crying. When I looked into it, the internet said “baby blues” Does anyone have experience with this?
It’s not particularly sadness, but it’s also not all happy cries. I can look at my baby and start crying. I can look at my husband and start crying. Mainly it feels like gratitude, but I’m scared because it feels SO out of control! It will happen on a switch. Then I can’t get the “water works” to turn off. Feels like there may be some grief of pregnancy there or also our sweet hospital stay.
Any advice would be appreciated. I didn’t really expect this to happen.
