For You and Your Baby
New Mothers
Here you can find information including what to expect after birth and local resources that could help you with your personal needs following your baby's birth!
Baby Blues
About 80 % of women experience some kind of "baby blues" following giving birth.
​
This is usually just feeling sad, disappointed, or being a bit "down." These are normal feelings!
These feelings can be related to hormonal changes, fatigue, and apprehension about your new role of motherhood. These feelings do not mean you do not love your child or that you are not going to be a wonderful mother.
The best thing to do is be open about your feelings - talk with your partner, your family, or your friends. They will give you the support and love you need.
​
Get as much sleep as you can and remember that these are common feelings - you are not alone!
