Could I have PND even with no issues with bonding?

[crazypenguinlady]

My son is the light of my life. I adore him and definitely had/have no issues with bonding with him. Is it still possible to have PND when it's got nothing to do with a bond?

I don't think PND is just to do with bonding I think it's more to do with how you feel in yourself? How are you feeling?

Yes I did. One of the hardest things is admitting it because you feel like it's a reflection on your relationship with your baby and it really isn't. It would speak to your GO asap. Sending hugs.

Yes definitely.

Lack of bonding can be a symptom of PND, but it's not always a problem.

Speak to your GP for help.

Thanks for replies.

It's nothing to do with my son, he brings me absolute joy. I'm struggling in myself, keeping everything together, my Relationship, my confidence. Also a few things about his birth that remain unresolved for me, just emotional stuff I haven't dealt with. My GP has referred me for counselling and I've recently started meds. Everything I read about PND mentions difficulties with baby, but I know 100% it's not that. He's the one thing I feel absolutely certain and happy about.

Yes. I have PND. DC3 I adore. I wouldn't change a thing and love him so much. He and the other children keep me going. I still have struggled with PND, anxiety , confidence, relationship....
