Crying, exhaustion and feeling overwhelmed are common after a birth. But if low mood lasts beyond the first couple of weeks, if you cannot enjoy anything at all, if you feel disconnected from your baby, or if your own thoughts are frightening you, please speak to your doctor or midwife today. This is common, it is treatable, and asking is not a failure.
Tell someone today. A doctor, a midwife, or a person you trust.
If you or your baby are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency service now.
