Post Partum Blues

Aw, napakahirap talaga ng first weeks, lalo na kung may anxiety ka pa, honestly, maraming moms sa circle ko ang dumaan dito at it's so valid, so don't feel alone! Six weeks is still SO early, kaya be gentle sa sarili mo, and please mention it to your OB or midwife if it's really weighing on you because sometimes may physical stuff contributing na kailangan i-address. A few of us found na having someone to talk to, whether doctor, partner, or trusted friend, makes a huge difference, plus getting rest when baby sleeps (I know, easier said than done!) and moving your body even just a little helped shift the mood. Pero if it's affecting how you're coping with the baby or yourself, definitely reach out to your healthcare provider, they can give you proper support whether it's therapy, meds if needed, or other help. You're doing great, mama.
