The world of new mothers always imagines itself as colorful. Whether blue or pink, this period of a woman’s life is imagined as the most beautiful of all life.
However, it is necessary to carefully observe the behavior of the new mother and, in case she is a bit dull or sad, understand what lies behind these attitudes.
A careful scruple in this direction can make the world around to women what anxiety and stress can lead to.
Baby blues
In the days immediately following childbirth, a woman may suffer from irritation, anxiety and unjustified sadness, sudden and unmotivated crying and sleep disturbances.
These are among some of the symptoms of the so-called “baby blues” and last for about two weeks, disappearing spontaneously.
The word “blues” in English describes an emotion that can also be translated as sadness, melancholy.
The onset of this condition is physiological since, following childbirth, every woman faces the decline of estrogen and progesterone.
If this is followed by fatigue due to childbirth, hours of labor and even performance anxiety, it is inevitable that the new mother must have some time to adapt to her body again.
Postpartum depression
The symptoms related to postpartum depression are more lasting and characterized by considerable intensity.
It is true that we must evaluate the symptoms of the baby blues since it is not excluded that they can degenerate into post-partum depression; however, those suffering from this condition are struck by a disabling malaise, with continuous feelings of fear, sadness, a sense of inadequacy and guilt.
Again, restlessness and fatigue, sleep disturbances, feelings of worthlessness and failure, and sometimes unwarranted worry or disinterest in the child.
Many women suffer from this condition, but it can also affect fathers.
In case a new mom suspects she is depressed, she should seek help as soon as possible. In fact, the symptoms, if underestimated, could have an excessive impact on you, on your child and on the whole family.
With the support of psychological and therapeutic support, postpartum depression can be defeated and the new mother will know how they can lead to anxiety and stress.
