I am a mother of three with a baby of 5 months, so life is pretty stressful at the moment but up untill now i feel i've been coping fine but for the past couple of weeks all i seem to be doing is crying i keep locking myself in the loo so the kids wont see me, any thing seems to trigger this off and even when i feel happy there still seems to be a feeling that i may break down in tears at any moment. when i was pregnant i felt miserable and sad all the time but didnt say anything to anyone because i thought it was just hormones it wasnt untill after i had baby and felt fine again that i realised how low i was, i remember after having baby my mum making a comment about me having my sense of humour back! I didnt even know you could get prenatal depression so i never asked the midwife for advise.
Im not sure i have postnatal depression because my babys 5 months now i always assumed this was something you got strait after baby was born, i feel abit embarrased to ask anyone and i dont like being fussed over so havent mentioned this to my mum I did however ask BF what he thought and he wasnt very helpful infact he made me feel really silly for even thinking it.
