I actually went through the baby blues after the birth of all my 5 kids (It can also happen to moms who had more than one child). I would fall into a dark hole and didn’t have a clue what was going on with my feelings and didn’t know how to get out of it. This lasted for couple of weeks. But eventually, those overwhelming feelings just faded away to my normal self again with the support I got from my husband and families.

If you feel that you might have any of these symptoms and it is lasting longer than 6 weeks after the birth of your baby and you're not sure if it is the baby blues or postpartum depression? It would be best for you to see your doctor and let your doctor know how you’re feeling so your doctor can better diagnose your symptoms.
