I was told by the midwife that baby blues is normal for about 20 days after delivery. Beyond that, it would be post partum depression and needs to be addressed by a specialist

I experienced this with my first little one. It is horrible, i didnt feel as though we had a bond or anything due to having emergency csection, beinuncincious, i felt those first few presicious moment were taken from me. I would feel as though baby didnt like me, when she cried and screamed i felt as though it was aimed at me, like i was doing everythin wrong. One important thing to do is talk to someone! Dont suffer in silence as they say. It can be hard work, its a huge adjustment. Give yourself a break and things will come together before you know it. Id say the first 6-8 months were the hardest, but you wont feel like this forever. Think of it as gettin to know one another, what works and what doesnt. Im sure your doing great x
