How long after

So how long after you ladies had babies did it take for you to feel normal again? Like emotionally, and having a regular period. And just feeling like you did prepregnancy.

I felt great right after having my son. I had energy and never had any emotional or hormonal stuff. Hoping to be the same after i have my daughter cause i would like to get a lot done while being off work for 2 months

With my son i felt great right after, didnt have any emotional or hormonal problems. I had 1 hormonal outburst when i was like 4-5 weeks. Postpartum but it was only 1 and i realized the hormones were taking over so i stopped them. I am worried this tine around because my hormones are all out of whack with this pregnancy so im scared i might be a little crazier this time around.
