It is common to feel somewhat ‘on edge’ during this perinatal time, especially if this is your first baby, and it is common to experience the ‘baby blues’ for three to five days after giving birth. But if during pregnancy you are feeling very low or anxious or after the birth your low and anxious feelings persist, please take a look at some of this information and seek help from your GP, midwife or health visitor.
