Q: I’m a new mom and I’m really struggling. Is it normal to feel so overwhelmed after having a baby?
A: If you are feeling swamped and tired after giving birth, that is more common than you might think. You may be learning to cope with less sleep, eating on the run, breastfeeding, new family dynamics, and less intimacy with your partner.
You might occasionally be feeling sad or anxious for no reason since having your baby. At times you may feel like you are just going through the motions of your day.
