Bringing a new life into this world is a transformative experience… one that fills your heart with immense joy, but it also brings intense emotional and physical changes, often very hard to navigate. As a new mom, you experience the best bits of being a mom, like your baby's first smile, or their first coo, all the while fighting a silent battle… the postpartum blues.
Most people tend to shrug off postpartum blues, but very few people acknowledge them. The interesting fact is, postpartum blues affect almost 80% of new moms, but still, it's so easily brushed off.
How can you understand if you're dealing with postpartum blues? Well, the blues manifest as mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, irritability, or a deep sadness that’s hard to explain. These feelings can emerge within the first few days after childbirth and may last for a couple of weeks. While they usually fade on their own, the emotional weight can feel overwhelming.
While juggling midnight feedings, sleepless nights, and healing bodies, self-care often takes a backseat for almost all moms. But this is precisely when a mother’s need for nourishment in every aspect, be it physical, emotional, and spiritual, is at its peak.
After delivery, there is an intense shift in hormones in the mom's body, suddenly from nurturing a baby growing inside you, the year shifts overnight to make sure a new life survives outside the womb. This intense shift, mixed with sleeplessness, figuring out how to be a mother, and more, the moms tend to lose their sense of self. While postpartum blues are not as persistent or threatening as postpartum depression, they're still valid and require attention.
1. Rest When You Can
Sleep deprivation is one of the biggest triggers for emotional distress. Nap when your baby sleeps, and don’t hesitate to ask for help from your support system.
2. Nourish Yourself
Your body is healing and needs wholesome, nutrient-dense foods. Think healthy fats, lean proteins, and plenty of hydration to aid recovery and boost your energy levels.
3. Share Your Feelings
Talk openly with your partner, a friend, or a professional. Bottling up emotions can intensify the blues. Sometimes, simply being heard makes all the difference.
4. Reconnect with Your Body
Your postpartum body is beautiful and brave, but it’s also tender and healing. A loving touch, a warm bath, or a soothing oil massage can foster emotional calm and physical repair.
