My wife's cousin has had a baby recently. She seems to have suffered from a bit of pre and postnatal depression. I've heard my wife talking how she kept crying on the phone while talking to her. Well, not so much crying as BAWLING her eyes out. My mother tried talking to her and had the same expereince. After she had the baby my wife went to stay in her house for a week to help her out. She wasn't kidding. I was talking to my wife on the phone one day and could actually hear her cousin crying in the background (sort of like a wail with rapid and unclear talking). I always wanted to see how she cried because she's a fairly attractive woman with full and lovely lips.
Yesterday her husband posted some photos of the moments of birth on facebook. She wasn't crying all that much in the photos but clearly she was crying harder before (they mentioned that she was). There were two small drops of tears right underneath her right eye. In one photo her bottom lip was mildly pouted which I got a kick out of.

Wow that sounds like a pretty picture but if my husband ever posted pictures of me in a post Patten state on Facebook I would wring his neck.

LOL it's worth mentioning that she was decent. She had a C-section so they put a curtain chest down.

The arrival of babies is a sure fired way to make new mum's cry - and new dad's for that matter.
But due to the sudden changes in hormone levels (which is sometimes refered to as the baby blues) new mum's can experience moments when they simply cannot control their emotions and cry floods of tears.
I noticed my wife's crying was way higher for months - basically until she decided to stop breast feeding to I think there was probably a link there. I also witnessed a cousin cry who I never thought I'd see crying post childbirth.
