itsjustme · 04/02/2010, 11:33 PM

this is the one thing i am most worried about with bubby...when i had T i obviously got the baby blues 1st day after being home and it lasted about 4 days, didn't really know it at the time and really struggled with it, it wasn't until a few months later i realised i had had it...this time i guess i am aware of it but don't really know what to do to get through it easier. for anyone reading and willing to reply, how did you deal / cope with the baby blues, i know it's only going to last a couple of days but i really didn't like the feeling so kinda wanna have a bit of a strategy to get me through it...cheers if you can gimme anything

I had them too. I got them in hospital though.

My way of coping was to sleep and read. By sleeping I wasn't getting tired and hence the blues couldn't hit me quite so hard. The reading kept me distracted.

I also let myself cry. It helped. But then DS2 was in the special care nursery in the humidicrib for 8 days.

Good luck.
