Why do I cry so easily after giving birth? Even small things will trigger tears. Is this normal or should I be worried????

It's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed by how easily you cry after giving birth – so many new parents feel this exact way! Those tears, even over tiny things, are super common and often part of the "baby blues." This typically lasts for about two weeks, and it's mostly due to your hormones doing a huge dance after birth, plus all that sleep deprivation and the sheer emotional and physical rollercoaster of becoming a new parent. While it's a normal phase, if these feelings get really intense, stick around longer than two weeks, or make it hard to manage your day or care for yourself and baby, please know it's a good idea to reach out to a doctor or therapist for a chat. You're definitely not alone in this!
