Baby Blues or Post Partum Syndrome
February 25, 2009
After the baby is born, many new mothers have the “postpartum blues” or the “baby blues.” The word “blues” is not really correct since women with this condition are happy most of the time. But compared to how she usually feels, the new mother is more irritable, cries more easily, feels sad and confused.
The postpartum blues peak three to five days after delivery. They usually end by the tenth day after the baby’s birth. Although the postpartum blues are not pleasant, the woman can function normally. The feeling of the “blues” usually lessens and goes away over time.
Medical experts believe that this occurs due to hormonal changes. It is not a serious condition and usually disappears after ten days.
What are the symptoms?
• Very often women feel sad and unhappy. Post partum also makes women feel depressed and tearful. Actually they are not unhappy but experience mood swings after the birth of a baby.
• They show low energy level and apathy. They seem uninterested in their surroundings.
• Some mothers experience lack of apetite
• They may not be interested in the new born
• There can be sudden and drastic weightloss or gain.
Remedy
This kind of post partum depression is not cause for worry as it goes away in a few days. However, if it persists, it might lead to post partum depression and that is cause for concern.
