NC for this post.
I am 1 month post birth and starting to wonder if I may have mild PND. I had a very stressful pregnancy after struggling to get pregnant, and one miscarriage. Heavy 2nd trimester bleeding, waters broke early, amongst complications. Smooth delivery.
I adore my baby and have had no problems bonding.
I am feeling very over stimulated very regularly, usually when everyone is home (husband, eldest, me and baby) from noise. This is making me snappy and frustrated at times. I have also been tearful on the odd occasion although I am a crier anyway. I tend to take myself away and do some laundry when it's all a bit loud.
I've been less inclined to go out or have visitors then previously although that could be the time of year and the fact I don't like having visitors anyway.
I'm not sure if I'm experiencing mild PND (because of the feeling snappy, over stimulated, crying sometimes) or if I'm just tired. I'm also drinking more caffeine and that might not be helping.
I've always experienced a level of anxiety as well as believe I had undiagnosed postnatal anxiety with my eldest, which did go away after a few months.
Could anyone provide some insight? I haven't spoken to the GP/HV as I'm utterly terrified about SS referrals. My baby is doted on and loved unconditionally but getting a call from SS would send my anxiety through the roof.
