had ds2 2 weeks ago today. Had bad pnd after i had ds1 (2.5) i came off citalopram 3 months b4 i got pg with ds2. Was okish during pg, up and down but think just hormones. I felt very down after birth but put down to 'baby blues' then was ok. Last few days ive been seriously up and down. One day im fine feeling quite ok then days like today have been awful and in tears and regretting having decided to have 2 children (i do love my ds's very much tho) i feel like the world is against me and dont hear me. My gp is good, she asked me how i was doing at ds 5 day check and i said i wasnt sure if it was just birth hormones, she said keep her updated and i can go on anti d anytime i want.

I really dont want to go on them. Ive been taking natra calm since birth as they helped when off the anti d before but dont seem to do much. I dont know if this is just all the hormones?? Anyone help??

Not sure really.
It is still early days of the new baby, so it is a massive change.
Are you okay enough to give it another week and see how things are looking?

At least if you do have to go back on the ads, you know you can get off them okay again, even though it is hard. I'm coming off mine atm.

If you are having to question whether or not you have PND then you prob have the beginnings of it.
Go to GP get it sorted.
