PND vs baby blues - when to seek help?
fuzzy-hedgehog · 5/8/2026
6 weeks postpartum. Cry every day, can't enjoy baby, just want to sleep forever. Is this still baby blues or something more?

The fact that you're questioning it is itself a sign worth getting checked. Quick GP appointment, low stakes.
Baby blues should resolve by 2-3 weeks. After 6 weeks, it's PND territory. Please see GP.
I waited 9 months to ask for help and regret every day. Don't wait.
