What everyone else said... hormones do some horrible stuff, but if it's really bad, go see someone, sometimes just telling someone you feel like crap helps.
As for the swollen feet, mine went back to normal within a day or so with my first three. With Pie it actually got worse after giving birth & my blood pressure was up too. So if it doesn't get better it might be worth a trip to your GP.
Thankyou everyone for your hugs and support. I think I am probably more tired then I realise, as I always get very emotional when tired, but I promise if it doesn't get better I will see someone about it. At least the MCHN is coming for a home visit on tuesday so hopefully I can voice my concerns then. Thanks again for the support it is greatly appreciated.
Hugs darling, having a 2 week old baby is extremely tough! And I see you have a toddler too - no wonder you're feeling tired and emotional. Take care of yourself, keep debriefing and talking. As for the cankles...mention it on tuesday to your MCHN. I know I couldn't put socks on for at least a week after DS was born.
Hi Mum in Alice, I must have missed your BA - so congratulations!!
Just want to send you an internet hug and empathise with you......I was really really emotional after DD's birth for about 3 weeks. I was fine the first week - happy and elated and didn't have those 3rd day blues or anything. The emotions kicked in around day 6 and I was really really bad from it. I was crying without even knowing why at times but the point of my story is - it gets better. I didn't wake up one day and just suddenly feel awesome but I slowly got better.
