Cases of postpartum blues are common. Fifty to 80 of all postpartum women experience some degree of postpartum blues within the first 2 weeks after childbirth. These are usually self-limiting, last several days, and often peak by the end of the first week. After 2 weeks, the woman should seek assistance and have further screening for depression. |
