I do remember getting teary but it wasn't too bad. My nephew (8years old) came to visit with his family. DD has olive skin and I remember trying not to cry when he asked me why I had a black baby. I then kind of twigged that it was day 3 after she was born. Cleared up pretty quickly too
I got the 3 day blues with both DD and DS. With DD it was all because the midwifes didn't ask me how I was in the morning!!!
Things I would normally be fine with just made me cry, i felt like I just needed my mum!!
No I didnt get them but I did cry a week after when my paretns left to go back to Qld! :(
Yep spent Christmas day sobbing my heart out all day - had visitors coming in and they could obviously see I was upset but I was very grateful that not one of them said anything about it cept for one friend who said something like blues hit today huh. I'm not a person who cries in front of others so them ignoring it was fantastic. It didn't help that DS was having issues and I had been awake all night with midwives and peds.
Second time round hit on day 4 the day I got home from Hossy - wish I had stayed in the extra day or two like they recommended. Couldn't think straight - actually sent DH out at 9:30pm to buy formula - which is so unlike me. It then sat in the cupboard for the next few months :-) Spent the next day randoming breaking into tears for no good reason -
Gotta love that hormone crash :-)
Yes, I did. That was the day I came home from hospital without my baby who had to stay in for a few more days. I got so emotional because my milk had just come in so my breasts were so sore, the house was a mess coz DH decided he would rearrange it while I was in hospital and my FIL, BIL and nieces came over and I didn't want to see anyone at all, I just wanted my baby.
Nothing with dd1 so when I lost it on day 3 after dd2 it was a real shock, for me and df. Tony's parents, great aunt, brother and niece had been over for more than 3 hours then some of tonys friends came over, I had extremely painful engorged breasts and was tired. I burst into tears in the bedroom because I wanted to express and the pump was in the lounge and I didn't want to express in my bedroom (no rational reason I was just hormonal). I had been trying to give tony meaningful looks to get rid of the family.
In the end it was his friend who realised I was upset and came and sat with me and made me feel a lot better. Tony just did not get it, his parents never know when its time to leave. I just wanted it to be quiet so I could relax
To continue the rant they sent tony's niece over to our house the day after I got home from hospital (dd was 2 days old) just because they thought it would be good for her to spend time with a good female role model!! Fair enough but not 48hrs after I had given birth :rolleyes: sorry for the whinge still annoys me now
Sure did... it doesn't help that that's when your milk comes in, I find that soo uncomfortable & it just adds to it all.
I wasn't so bad with the boys, I was worse with DD, cried at anything & everything, and had been a little bit like that for the prev 9mths...
this pregnancy I have been more emotional again, looks like another girl, so will be interesting to see how I go this time (poor DH!)
