Will I Feel Better After Giving Birth?

You might find that you go up and down a lot, from being elated to feeling very down. That's normal. Many women feel teary, irritable or more emotionally sensitive than usual a few days after giving birth. These feelings are known as the baby blues, and they're normal, too.

How long does it take to feel better after giving birth?

Your postpartum recovery won't be just a few days. Fully recovering from pregnancy and childbirth can take months.
