After your baby is born, the first few days are often filled with a wide range of emotions.
During the first 2-3 weeks after your baby is born, you may feel sad, cry for no reason, feel very tired or have trouble concentrating. This is common. If you feel like this, it's a good idea to talk to someone about your feelings.
If these feelings last for more than 2-3 weeks and you don't feel better with rest, sleep or support from others, you may have postpartum depression/anxiety.
If you are struggling, you are not alone. There are resources available to support you and your family.
