postpartum depression
There is no clear understanding of why up to 80 percent of women experience some sadness or "baby blues" for a few weeks after delivery, but only 10 to 20 percent spiral into clinical depression.
Even when those baby blues fade, you are likely to feel more sensitive than before.
