My DS is nearly four months and up until a few weeks ago I had no problems. I've started to feel really down and insecure about how I look. I've told OH and he's just said that I'm being silly and is constantly telling me I look nice and trying to do things to make me feel better about myself but it doesn't help.
I just feel like crap when I look in a mirror and sometimes I get really upset and cry about it. My OH is the more attractive one out of the two of us, and even though I trust him, I worry that he's not going to stay with me when he could get someone better. It doesn't help that he works with mainly women who all seem to be stunning! We went to a work thing and someone who has a baby the same age as ours has her figure back and just looks amazing. When I said this to him he agreed that she looked great but then said that he thought I did too and that I shouldn't compare myself to others. When I said I worried about him finding someone else he laughed and said that he loves me for more than just how I look and that to him I'm the most beautiful woman.
I got really upset the other night and he suggested that I go to the doctors as it could be a sign of post natal depression but I'm not sure. Am I just feeling a bit rubbish for now but things will get better? Or is it a sign that I need extra support from somewhere.

Is this PND or just normal?
