A friend in the United States called me and said she was overjoyed. However, after the annunciation, she fell into a situation of grievance, saying that the child was completely brought by herself, and her husband was the same as no one else... Wait and wait, crying as you talk.
After talking, she told me that she should have had baby blue.
What is baby blue?
The careful little friend must have guessed that this baby blue is not a "baby blue", she is "postpartum depression" in this context.
Baby blue generally means "tender blue".
The color of this car is baby blue ↓
Columbia University's uniform color is also baby blue.
However, baby blue in obstetrics has nothing to do with "color".
The key is an understanding of this blue.
In addition to having "blue", blue can also mean "melancholy".

Melancholy Monday
This is what blue in baby blue means. At first, the term mainly refers to negative emotions such as anxiety and anxiety in the postpartum period of the mother.
Baby blue is a little different from "postpartum depression." Baby blue is a mild postpartum depression that doesn't last long and slowly gets better as mom's hormone levels return. Most baby blues do not develop into severe postpartum depression.
