Blues vs depression: Btwn changes in hormones & life style that come after childbirth, it’s common for a woman to have mood swings & to feel down. This can be accompanied by feeling overwhelmed, being more tearful, difficulty sleeping & feeling anxious, jittery or irritable. This is called the postpartum blues & it happens to > 1/2 of women. It may ^ for several days after baby’s birth & then hopefully will start.
