can't stop crying

I had my baby girl 2 weeks ago. she's the best thing ever. I love her so much and she's so perfect. But for some reason I cry over nothing. I get so emotional so quick and I can't stop. What's wrong with me? Why do I feel so sad when I'm so happy? :-(

I had my baby boy on the 27th. And not even 24 hours later my husband and i had a disagreement and it sent me into a full blown emotional crying state for about a hour straight. I didn't cry my entire 30 week pregnancy. At first I was crying bc of the disagreement then I was crying bc I was crying then I was crying bc I wanted to go see my baby in the nicu but I was crying then I was crying bc I didn't want the nurse to come in then I was crying bc my husband tried to comfort me then I was crying bc I got hungry. I was literally all over the place! Hormones are crazy after birth!

...and scary and I became more aware of that. Always thinking about being more careful for babys sake... but after awhile your hormones normalize...

I cried and was emotional for about 3 weeks after my 1st daughter was born, I wasnt sad though, just weepy over tv and things like knowing baby wouldnt stay small forever. Like happy tears. And also the world became so dangerous

After you deliver your baby your hormones go crazy trying to balance themselves out, it's very common to be overly emotional during this time so try not to be hard on yourself! Definitely talk with your doctor.

I noticed I was very sensitive a few weeks after having my son February 15th. Me and my husband have been together for 20 years and minor disagreements were just that. But not for that brief period I was extremely sensitive, seeing my body made me extremely insecure and defensive towards him. 6 weeks post and pregnancy weight is almost gone and feeling back to my old self. But I hope yours pass soon.
