I had a friend who was emotional after pregnancy - commercials would make her tear up. I think it's normal.

Most women are emotional after giving birth, it's because of all the hormone fluctuations. I often got teary over commercials that were touching but not over every commercial. If the ad isn't sad I wouldn't worry if you don't feel emotional about it. In general I wouldn't worry unless you just don't feel any emotions at all. If that is the case you should talk to your doctor about it. Just remember that every woman and every pregnancy is different. There really isn't any way you are "supposed" to feel.

Yes you should be but the emotion you should feel is happy or giddy........trust me i'm a father of a 4 month old and he's my world trust me its all worth the wait because when you meet him/her and you see his/her eyes.......wow........there just isn't many words to describe the feeling other than it's just an incredible love and connection that you have with this child that you haven't seen up close only on the montior when you go to the doctors and you haven't talked to him/her its just an incredible feeling you have simontaniously as soon as him/her comes out and you hold him/her thats the best thing in the world and you never want it to end and its very very sad now because he's my first and he's a lil mini me but he's growing out of some of his clothes and its sad they grow up fast and trust me take as much footage and pictures you can because they will change before your eyes and if you dont look close enough you'll miss the best thing that god himself has ever given you.........sorry about all that and the feelling you have when you see commercial is normal i was freaking out all the time not knowing if he was gonna come out if anything was gonna be wrong and yes the doctor can tell if it's healthy but anything can happen but dont be sad because its the best thing that can ever happen to a human being is produceing a lil you its the best thing in the world and im sooo soo happy for you and congrats i hope this helps

That all depends. With my first son, I felt "normal" after having him. I didn't get emotional over nothing, or have mood swings. Then with my second son, who is now 2 months old, I cried over the slightest thing, and could go from elated to screaming my head off in half a second flat. I think it depends on how much help you get, and how often you get to get out of the house. It helped me to have my husband watch the kids for an evening so I could have dinner with a friend. I try to get out as much as possible. Contact with others that can actually talk back to you is a tremenous help.

Very emotional. Now your hormones are trying to level back out to what they were before you were pregnate. It can last a few days up to a year after pregnancy. As long as you don't have thoughts of hurting yourself or your baby everything is normal.

It's called "baby blues"- you're still hormonal from pregnancy for about a month or so after giving birth. I was very weepy for the first few weeks, every little thing made me break down in tears. (Which was odd, because I was not very emotional during pregnancy, only after.)

It's hormones sweetie! We all do it - whether we admit it or not. I just had a baby in Dec '06 - I still break down and cry once in awhile. It's perfectly fine and normal. Your body just went through a HUGE change. It needs time to adjust to that. You just brought a little life into this world - the greatest accomplishment you will ever achieve.

Yeah, it's just your hormones going haywire. If it becomes too much of a problem (and if you're really feeling down or have any kind of violent thoughts) you should see your doctor because you could be having post-partum depression. If it's just a case of the "weepies", though, it's sounds like normal hormonal activity.

you're more emotional but every woman is different, some cry at everything while others not really. You will feel more tired after pregnancy.
