After having a baby, many women feel irritable, sad and overwhelmed. For most first time mums this is the last thing they expect to feel after the joy and excitement of having a baby.



So what exactly is baby blues? How long does it last? What can you do to feel better? And how is the baby blues different from post natal depression?

If you have suffered from baby blues or post natal depression, how did you cope and what sort of help is available to women going through this? Please share your experiences to help others who may be going through it right now.
