Will my emotions return to normal after pregnancy?

Yes: It only takes about 2 weeks for the pregnancy hormones to leave your body during which time 66% of postpartum women will experience "baby blues." a minority of these women will go on to have postpartum depression. Risk factors include prior history of depression, baby admitted to nicu.

Hopefully: Many emotions can be attributed to hormonal changes during pregnancy, so as those hormones return to normal, your emotions should slowly get better. Pregnancy itself, and having a baby can be very emotional and stressful too, which is not uncommon. If you still feel stressed and emotional, discuss with your dr. As their is help available. Good luck.
