Postpartum Or Baby Blues

  •  After having a baby, many women may experience mood swings and restlessness.
  •  They may feel happy for a brief while and the next moment they start to cry.
  •  They may lose their appetite; fail to sleep well even when the baby is asleep.

    These symptoms are called the baby blues. They usually start about 3 to 4 days after delivery and go away within few days. The baby blues are considered a normal part of early motherhood and usually go away within10 days after delivery. However, some women have more severe symptoms or symptoms that last longer than a few days. This is condition is called as postpartum depression.
