“How is my baby positioned right now?” “Does it already need to be in the correct position?” “What happens if it doesn’t turn anymore?” These questions are completely normal.

The birth of a child is an overwhelming experience. Around 50–80% of all women experience what is known as the “baby blues” — usually between the 3rd and 5th day after giving birth. During this time, women may feel mildly depressed, overly sensitive, emotionally unstable, and often cry for no apparent reason. The joy of having a baby is mixed with exhaustion and sleep deprivation from childbirth, combined with a drastic drop in hormone levels. This so-called “baby blues” phase typically resolves on its own within a few days and does not require treatment — unlike postpartum depression, which is a more severe and prolonged condition that does require medical attention.
