What is maternity blue?

Psychiatric symptoms that are likely to occur after childbirth. Some people experience it before giving birth, but most people experience it after giving birth. The symptoms are often transient, and many people get better about 10 days after giving birth, so there is nothing to worry about.

★ What are mental symptoms? ?
·get annoyed
・feel depressed
・I can't stop bursting into tears

In addition to this, some people seem to be unable to sleep or feel impatient. But why is this happening?

★ Why does it happen ? ?
The symptoms are thought to occur in conjunction with a sudden drop in female hormones.
It may be caused by a change in feelings after the big event of childbirth, a dilemma about raising children, etc.
If you carry it alone, you will feel that the current environment is more painful. Let's find a way to get over it that suits you.

★ Everyone's experiences! how did you get over it

・ Tell family members such as husband and mother
・ Talk to friends who have given birth or who are raising children
・ Talk to experts (midwives, obstetricians and gynecologists)
Change of mood (be alone, go outside, etc.)
When I read various surveys and listened to stories about their experiences, many people said that they felt better and their symptoms disappeared after they told someone about it.
Parenting is not something you do alone, you can see how important the support around you is.
