Being a new parent often begins with a period of feeling blue/down and weepy. I guess with every up, there comes a down, From your hormones rising because you're excited about carrying your new baby, to dropping because you have to say good-bye to the way that life 'used to

be'. You're deprived of sleep or your baby keeps crying and you just cant soothe her anymore, or maybe you need a helping hand. This leads to anxiety, sadness and frustration.

-Accept Help, from a relative, neighbour or friend. I've learnt , that if you're an independent person, just remember you cant be super-woman all the time. You need to ease the load now and later, so dont say no to anyone who offers their assistance.

-Educate yourself & dont listen to the negetive comments people around you say. Read, research and educate yourself on the changes you are about to experience, and on what to expect from a new born. Then listen to your instincts and make your own decisions.

-Eat well all the time, for the good of you and your baby,especially if you're breastfeeding, for energy all day /night long. Eat healthy meals 4/5 times a day instead of just 3 times a day. Dont resort to junk food. It just causes complications for your baby.

-Get some fresh air. Go outside. Dont just stay in your room with the baby all the time. When baby is napping, if you cant nap, take a walk in the garden. Open windows for fresh air ciculation in the house.

-Keep calm and cool. If you feeling down, dont over react to your new feelings. think positively and work towards making yourself feel better.
