Answer is C. this is Postpartum depression(baby blue), it doesn't occur to all women after birth, so it can not be normal reaction to birth.

This question says which of the following is most likely explanation for her feelings?
the closest answer from the given option is C. Normally, Women don't cry or feel sad
after the birth of their babies, but when it occurs, they call it postpartum depression.

@joyy25,
Maybe we can rule out major depression due to her normal appetite and sleep, however,
there is element of depression in this woman. The question says she feels sad, and she
cries "ocassionaly", and ( she doubt her ability to takecare of her healthy baby - this means
she feels worthlessness of herself). Thus, if we rule out major depression, then option A
should be the answer, if not, the qustion is not good.
