Homonym: Baby Blues (Sadness)
"Baby Blues" refers to a common emotional condition that many new mothers experience shortly after childbirth. It typically involves feelings of sadness, anxiety, and mood swings, often triggered by hormonal changes, fatigue, and the stress of caring for a newborn. Symptoms usually appear within the first few days postpartum and can last for a couple of weeks.
Unlike more severe conditions like postpartum depression, the Baby Blues are generally mild and temporary. Most women recover without treatment, but support from family and friends can be beneficial. It's important for new mothers to communicate their feelings and seek help if symptoms persist or worsen.
