Your responses suggest you are not currently showing significant symptoms of postpartum depression. You may be experiencing the “baby blues”—a common emotional shift that affects many parents in the first 1–2 weeks after birth.
Feeling tired, tearful, or anxious after bringing a baby into the world is normal. Your hormones, identity, and daily routine have all changed dramatically. But these feelings usually come and go quickly.
What This Might Mean:
You’re adjusting to the challenges of new parenthood
Emotional ups and downs are mild and manageable
You’re still able to find moments of joy, rest, or connection
What You Can Do:
Stay connected to others—don’t isolate
Rest when you can, even if it’s just 10 quiet minutes
Let someone else help (feeding, chores, or simply listening)
Don’t be afraid to talk about your emotions—especially if they shift
Your experience matters. Even if it’s not depression, support is always okay to ask for.
