Baby Blues

The baby blues set in pretty quickly after birth. About 80 percent of postpartum mothers have them, a short period filled with bouts of sadness, anxiety, stress, and mood swings after childbirth. Fortunately, they usually go away on their own soon after birth.

However, if you're still feeling sad or anxious after 2 weeks - or if your symptoms become severe at any point - reach out to a family member, trusted friend, or healthcare provider right away.
